Grub installation on LVM (new installation, kernel update) fails after lvrename

[odi]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6-686

* When installing a new kernel image (dist upgrade, kernel update) ...

* on a LVM system where the root logical volume had been renamed via lvrename, ...

* the kernel entry in grub's menu.lst is written with "root=OLD_LV_NAME" instead of the new LV name.

* The system does not boot because the kernel does not find its root device.

This happened several times when updating the kernel in 6.06 and 7.04 as well as during the upgrade from 6.06 to7.04 on at least two different systems.

Im pretty sure this is a problem with update-grub not the kernel itself.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

* did you still get this situation ?
* if so, would you like to attach your /boot/grub/menu.lst file

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.
