Is there a problem in grub ? Should grub be automatically converted to grub 2, in a script ?

Puzzled

Hi Steve

What's the fix for this bug, then ?

Is there a corrective script I can run in the terminal ?

Please advize,

Thanx

As described at
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/193439/comments/3>, you
should be able to work around this by running 'sudo grub-set-default 0' from
a terminal or by correcting /boot/grub/menu.lst to set 'updatedefaultentry'
to 'false'.
