I think I have a similar issue. I also removed the splash option from the kernel, and I was also prompted to keep my modified version of menu.lst.
However, I remembered what I had done and choose to use the maintainer's version. Now, menu.lst does not reflect what is presented at boot time. It doesn't matter what I do to menu.lst, the new kernel does not show as an option. menu.lst shows 2.6.27-11 as the newest kernel, but the boot menu shows 2.6.27-9 as the newest available kernel. Also, the non- recovery options all have the splash option, but there is no splash option at boot time. No matter what I do to menu.lst, it is not reflected at boot time. There are no other .lst files in /boot/grub/. I am going to try and remove the other kernels. I just didn't want to make my machine unbootable. -- update-grub not updating menu.lst https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202009 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
