Bug Description

My /boot/grub/menu.lst contains

title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-rt
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-rt root=UUID=30a8402e-23e2-47b1-990f-87c450eca875 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-rt

After installing the linux-kernel upgrades it keeps getting overwritten to

title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-rt
root (hd1,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-rt root=UUID=30a8402e-23e2-47b1-990f-87c450eca875 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-rt
quiet

Since the root is changed, my system wont boot until I edit the entry, luckily easy to do in grub, and then fix up menu.lst

I would like to see the root entries be preserved.

You need to edit the "groot=" line to preserve the setting.
