I have almost the same problem. However mine is due to a change in hardware. Originally I had some SATA drives installed at hd0, hd1 and now I don't. When ever the kernel is updated, my menu.lst selects the wrong root.
Where is the default root coming from since the original installation? Is there a way to change it so I don't have to fix the menu.lst every time the kernel is updated? -- grub picks incorrect default root device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148693 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
