Daniel, this is a very good question. I remember that during the upgrade I was asked twice about keeping or replacing the menu.lst. I clicked "replace" the first time and "keep" the second time because I assumed that the new one was there and should not be tampered with anymore.
The strange thing now is that when I ran sudo update-grub today, I got told at stdout that the last jaunty kernel and the karmic kernel (2.6.31-14) were found in /boot, and the modified date of the menu.lst changed, but the file contents were untouched. So I modified the menu.lst manually, changing some existing jaunty kernel to point to the karmic kernel and I could boot (KDE wouldn't start at first, so I had to sudo killall kdm from TTY1). In terms of sound, some stuff changed, other stuff didn't. - In paman (former padevchooser), I have now a new sink and new sources. I will attach the output of pactl list. - In the KDE System Settings, I am not asked anymore to forget a device. - Furthermore, now all 3 NVidia CK8S devices as listed in the original bug description are selectable. - In addition to them, the former "PulseAudio" item is still there, but a new "Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server" was added. - Like before, playing sound only works with the device named "NVidia CK8S with ALC850 (NVidia CK8S)". - Playing a test sound with the pulseaudio devices only creates some cracking or a very high pitched tone. I will attach another file with the log output of pulseaudio -vvvv again. Now, I got the idea to rename the existing menu.lst to force update-grub to create a new file - and voilà, now the .31-14 kernel is in, and the OS (in the list entry title) is changed from 9.04 to 9.10. Should I report the update-grub stuff as a bug? I reproduce it: If I put in the old version with OS version "9.04" and only the jaunty kernel, in place; and then sudo update grub, it says: $ sudo update-grub Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done But the kernel list is not changed. 2.6.31 does not appear in the list after update-grub wrote it.
