Thank you for your hints.
I'm using linux from 1993 but normally I'm using RedHat like distros. We
have choose Ubuntu, because it is easier to use for unexperienced users,
and generally hassle free. There are, of course, some differences
between Debian / Fedora system files structure and tools. For Example on
Fedora Core 1 there is no update-grub tool nor groot or kopt entries in
menu.lst.
My customers have systems with Ubuntu up and running for couple of month
and there was kernel updates in past, that doesn't trigger this behavior.
Anyway, when customer machine was blocked because of wrong grub entries,
I have replaced manually all occurrences of hd(0,0) with hd(0,1) and all
occurrences of /dev/hda1 with /dev/sda2. Needless to say, it lasts only
2 days till next kernel update and machine reboot ...
I will check, groot or kopt values in menu.lst file and try update-grub
to see, what happen and let you know.
