It's not a HVM instance. The AMI is supplied at the top of the bug report.

Note that this bug has nothing to do with which kernel is running on the machine after reboot, except that the file `/boot/grub/menu.lst` has the wrong contents.

The buggy behaviour is that `/boot/grub/menu.lst` *IS NOT BEING UPDATED* even though the message on the console actually says "Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done".

To reproduce the behaviour all you have to do is modify `/boot/grub/menu.lst` once ever. Then it will never be updated again, even though `update-grub-legacy-ec2` claims it is updating the file.

Unless I'm missing something, it appears that the debconf setting is being ignored.

The net effect is that we don't get kernel updates without manually intervening on `/boot/grub/menu.lst`.
