Confirm that grub-update doesn't affect anything above ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST but that is not ideal, being before all the instructions and examples etc. In bug #21412 it was suggested to have an include for the autogenerated output or something similar, or even moving to Grub2 (don't know if it's stable yet or its capability; Grub1 itself is no longer being developed). As a workaround for me it's fine, provided its location before all other options doesn't affect it. Ideally it should be smart enough to detect Ubuntu kernels and only modify its entries. Even if you have a distinct Ubuntu section like the automagic one, but more specific. It is able to leave my Splashimage line alone in Dapper, which it didn't previously, so it should be able to do the same for non-Ubuntu entries.
All this would be moot if there were a proper Graphical Grub editor, which is a separate issue. -- Updating Kernel modified Grub doesn't respect customised entries https://launchpad.net/bugs/59895 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
