Public bug reported:
When I updated to Kubuntu 10.04 I again got incorrect entries in
menu.lst. These entries were of the following type:
title Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic (on /amd64 dev/sda7)
uuid f21660ca-abf6-4575-b374-1f059f74ea7a
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic
root=UUID=6574fd38-cc2b-4137-89ad-6790234a7328 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic
quiet
savedefault
I have several different active partitions. The grub boot loader that I
use is located on
/dev/sdb3 (hd1,2), UUID=0cc2ef56-2f58-40ec-b2a1-15f446713857 (ATA disk)
That partition now contains a Lucid i386 (10.04).
The above entry is supposed to boot the amd64 partition on
/dev/sda7 (hd0,6), UUID=f21660ca-abf6-4575-b374-1f059f74ea7a (SATA disk)
I also have a Windows partition, and a third kubuntu partition on
/dev/sdb2 (hd1,1) UUID=6339b283-19ff-41fa-b65d-355724881e1e (ATA disk)
If I use the above entry (prouced by the dist-upgrade to 10.04) to try
to boot the system on (hd06), then the system hangs, and complains that
it cannot mount the root partition. The same thing happened already
when I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmik, but I did not report it then.
The solution that I have used is to edit menu.lst by hand and replace
the third line by
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=UUID=f21660ca-
abf6-4575-b374-1f059f74ea7a ro quiet splash
If I remember correctly, the strange UUID=6574fd38-cc2b-4137-89ad-
6790234a7328 in the above boot entry used to be the old signature of
(hd1,2), before I was forced to reformat that partition after un
unsuccessfull attempt to upgrade that partition to a beta version of
Lucid.
Each oif the above three kubuntu partitions contain a private /boot-
directory, and a /boot/grub. When I have upgraded to a new distribution
the upgrade procedure has produced a new menu.lst in /boot/grup on the
partition in question, and I have then copied the relevant part of that
menu.lest to partition (hd1,2), i.e., to the partition to which the
master boot record points.
