Could someone give a CLEAR explanation of how the automagic kernels list markers work ? Are the BEGIN and END lines sup posed to have zero, one, two, or three hashes (#) for them to have any effect ? If they are composed properly, and if the non-Linux boot stanzas are put in the "correct" place (AFTER, if I read correctly), will they be retained after a kernel upgrade ?
I am setting up a triple-boot computer for a relative. We like Ubuntu. However after last night's kernel upgrade, recommended by the automatic upgrade manager, the grub menu no longer showed the other OS choices. I knew enough about how to re-edit the menu.lst, using the backup file (menu.lst~), but the typical user would not. I also know I can prevent (block) such future automatic kernel upgrades, but that is a totally unacceptable solution, locking the owner in to an eventually obsolescent kernel. HELP please. G.
