updates to the kernel fail to update menu.lst

Bug #358430 reported by John C Hatch on 2009-04-09

This bug report is a duplicate of: Bug #470490: [MASTER] Grub does not update menu.lst when it was hand-edited (so it defaults to old 2.6.28 kernel after upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04): add 'help' details to debconf prompt. Edit Remove

Bug Description

The last two updates to the kernel installed correctly but did not show up when I booted until I manually edited /boot/grub/menu.lst. I don't know if the fault lies with grub or synaptic or with my installation which is kubuntu h. h. upgraded to jaunty and with a lot of extra stuff installed.

Not a huge problem, probably, but confusing for new users.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
