I should have reported this before, as today was the third fix I've had to do on one of my machines. The offending system is "Update Manager" but bug system says that does not exist in Ubuntu! Tell it to try Sysem/Administration/Update Manager.
Particular machine has a PATA 120GB drive as slave on the single IDE port and 2 SATA drives on SATA interfaces 1 and 2. I boot from SATA 1 which seems to be assigned (hd0,0) by grub. The problem is that when there is a kernel image upgrade, as for example today, all the (hd0,0) entries are changed to (hd0,1) and I get an error 17, unable to mount partition. Hardly surprising. Hack is to use Knoppix and edit menu.list in /boot/grub on the drive (Feisty creates /dev/sdb1, which is somewhat suspicious) to put back all the (hd0,0) and all works again. Probably doesn't affect too many folk, but perhaps the installer could ASK FIRST before changing something important like this. JN PS. If anyone trying to fix this needs a test, possibly they could create a version that just saves the proposed menu.list without replacing the current one, and I'll be happy to run such a program. I suspect it could be difficult to debug without some machines like mine that actually give trouble. -- Linux-image upgrade messes up menu.1st https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
