upgrade to 7.10 menu.lst corrupted

[PKirkham]

Binary package hint: firefox

I've just upgraded to 7.10 as proposed by the automatic update process. Everything went smoothly until the machine rebooted when it couldn't find the correct partition. This was due to grub's menu.lst having been incorrectly updated since I have a dual boot system and Windows boots on the first partition hd0,0, Ubuntu boots on the 2nd hd0,1

The updated menu.lst was looking for all the Ubuntu images on hd0,0

The following is my correction to menu.lst where all the ubuntu related root statements read root (hd0,0) before correction.

## ## End Default Options ##

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Not a Firefox issue.

[PKirkham (pete-kirkham)]

Agreed but the bug reporting mechanism in Ubuntu is pretty arcane.

Since it's been a very long time since any additional info was added to this bug, I'm just checking to see if this is still an issue, and find out what additional work should be done on this bug.

[PKirkham (pete-kirkham)]

I think I provided all I could. Since I'm now using Hardy Heron and didn't
have the problem I assume the issue was fixed along the way. So you're right
to close it.
