The setup process fails to merge the new kernel as a menu item for grub when menu.lst has been edited manually. It is not difficult to fix manually afterwards, and will probably not affect users who cannot fix it - but it would be elegant if it just worked automatically, and it is probably a rather small change. I attach my menu.lst post-install of 2.6.27-14 - I cannot see the actual file attached to the original bug report. The 3-way merge does not seem to have touched anything in the file, but the kernel has been installed in /boot, and manually adding a menu entry works fine.
