I have such a partition configuration:
/dev/sda1: /boot
/dev/sda2: swap
/dev/sda3: windows
/dev/sda5: /
/dev/sda6: /home

In my menu.lst file I have lines containing: "root (hd0,0)" which is true. Nonetheless, after every kernel update, it automatically changes to "hd(0,1)" which breaks running of Ubuntu, forcing me to manually change it back.

It's not very much problem for me, but I also installed Ubuntu at my family's computer and it's strange if GRUB gets broken after just an update.

My (PROPER!) /boot/grub/menu.lst ends with that:
"## ## End Default Options ##
