Bug Description
Binary package hint: adept-updater
each update of kernel modifies my menu.lst with wrong partition numbers
e.g. i have windows on (hd0,1) and ubuntu on (hd0,4) but after i update
kernel it is replaced with (hd0,4) and (hd0,7) so i have to manually fix this
trouble every time
i think it happened after i tried to manage partitions using windows utility
are those values stored somewhere in configuration?
To post a comment you must log in.
(I've assigned this to me until we get a bit further, I'm no expert.)
"each update of kernel modifies my menu.lst" of course this is how it should be
"...with wrong partition numbers" but this is not what should be happening.
Could you please attach your menu.lst file? (/boot/ grub/menu. lst)
What do you mean when you say "manage partitions using windows utility"? Exactly what did you try to do and what software did you use?
A very important question you need to answer is did it work _before_ you tried to do something with a windows utility? That will help us establish if this is a bug - or a case of fixing something that wasn't Ubuntu's 'fault'.
