Hello :)

i've got the same problem I guess and I got it since I upgraded from Dapper Drake to Edgy Eft (even with reinstalling the system from scratch). grub does not properly generate the menu.lst so I can't boot without editing manually the startup script. It is a problem of UUID by the way : my fstab / blkid and disk/by-uuid does not return the same UUID for my sda8 partition (my / one).

My menu.lst is attached here as it was generated since my last upgrade (last friday, Feisty Fawn).
(hd0,0) should be (hd0,7)
UUID=0fcf2f00-4ae6-1c00-0000-000002000000

For the sda8 partition, I have this entry in /etc/fstab :
# /dev/sda8
UUID=bc77bcba-0825-4875-8536-21295d7ffc2c / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

blkid returns this to me :
/dev/sda8: UUID="bc77bcba-0825-4875-8536-21295d7ffc2c" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid returns this :
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-04-25 19:39 c4392b00-d50c-1d00-0000-000002000000 -> ../../sda8
