Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub
Hi,
on update from Gutsy update-grub wrote the wrong "root(0,X)" entry as well as the the wrong "UUID=". This was a week ago. Now I ran it again, as installed a Vanilla Kernel. This time it changed my coorected entries to wrong ones. WTF...
Attached menu.lst (old/new) and "fdisk" and "df". Maybe a problem with LVM ?
HTH
Dan

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.
This bug is the same as bug #21412, which has been resolved for the upcoming Ubuntu 8.04 LTS release. However, it is only resolved inasmuch as upgrades of grub will no longer *silently* overwrite your boot stanzas; update-grub still relies on the kopt= and groot= settings in menu.lst being set correctly, in order to be able to automatically generate boot stanzas for you. You should correct these lines in your menu.lst and re-run update-grub for best results.
