I cannot explain hot the kernel list markers work, but I have found a
simple (albeit hackish) solution to the problem. I create a copy of the
good menu.lst before any modifications can be made to it ("sudo cp
/boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bkp"), then whenever the list
gets scrubbed, it's a simple "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst.bkp
/boot/grub/menu.lst" to restore the original list.The second part can be placed in a script on the desktop or home folder for those who don't like using the terminal (though it would need to be modified to remove the 'sudo' requirement ideally). You could either get the user's to run this file whenever the list is scrubbed, or (ugh) set it to run on startup... Obviously this is not ideal, but it is the best I can offer. Hopefully that will help as a temporary solution until a more permanent fix is implemented. -- Kernel update hoses grub's menu.lst https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75712 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
