Thanks for your report.

The error is
=====

 Conflicts found! Please edit `/var/run/grub/menu.lst' and sort them out manually.

 The file `/var/run/grub/menu.lst.ucf-new' has a record of the failed merge of the configuration file.
=====

This is probably because you've selected the 3 way merge with a locally modified version. Could you please reproduce the error and attach the files /var/run/grub/menu.lst.ucf-new and /var/run/grub/menu.lst .

Thanks.

I can provide my files for grub's menu. Hope it is ok as an attachment. Here's /var/run/grub/menu.lst

[Kicya (david-duriez)]

I provided some files...

[Kicya (david-duriez)]

...and here is /var/run/grub/menu.lst.ucf-new

Hope it will help someone more skilled than me figure that out.

Same problem here.
I had previously manually modified my menu.lst to add booting option to ubuntu 8.04. However, the previous kernel update (2.6.27-9-generic) ran smoothly with these modifications.
When I saw there was problem I fist backed up my menu.lst. I attach it here as *menu.lst-bak-2009-01-31.xavier*.

Then I used the "merge 3 files" options, then something crashed (don't know exactly what) and I clicked on the notification toolbar button. In the update progress window I got errors saying that the kernel wasn't configured. I will attach output in *apt.log*.

Then in synaptic I reinstalled linux-image-generic and it worked fine. Log attached as *apt2.log*

Finally I looked in my menu.lst and it was still unmodified. So I duplicated the 8 lines for "2.6.27-9-generic" and changed it to "2.6.27-11-generic". Now I'm going to try to reboot and see if it is working.

[Xavier Robin (jti-533g)]

Restart was successful. Kernel is correctly installed and it seems my modifications to menu.lst were ok (uname -r gives "2.6.27-11-generic")

Some notes that might be interesting:
- Like the reporter, I'm using ubuntu 8.10 in french language. I don't know if it is relevant or only a coincidence.
- Output logs are in french. Sorry for non-ascii characters that are completely messed up by launchpad. If you need a translation of some output, please ask.
- Unlike the reporter, I'm using a x86_64 (64bit) kernel on an amd.
- I removed old kernel 2.6.27-7 (linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic & linux-headers-2.6.27-7). The process went successfully without error.
- Attaching my current working version of menu.lst in case it can help!
