Hi Greg, well ... this computer has gone months ago ;-) , but I experienced a similar problem in the new computer where I installed 7.10. It happened two times after two kernel updates.
I made a new installation of 7.10 at hd(3,0). Later I "moved" the disk, the hd(3) becomes hd(0), theferore I change hd(3,0) to hd(0,0) in the grub items. All is ok, I can boot regularly. Now a kernel update becomes available, I do it. After the update, I can't boot :-( When the grub menu appears I press ESC to see entry, and I see that I'm booting from hd(3,0) :-O I change it to hd(0,0), I can boot, an then I modify permanently menu.lst. Weeks later another kernel update is available. I do it. Same result :-( This time I decide to give a deeper look to menu.lst, the hd(3,0) value must come from somewhere! I found only one location where hd(3,0) is present, it's a commented line! ## default grub root device ## e.g. groot=(hd0,0) # groot=(hd3,0) I've changed to # groot=(hd0,0) and now I'm waiting for the next kernel update to see if the problem occurs again, which may confirm my suspect that "groot" parameter is used to modify the first entries, if commented. -- Kernel update with Adept Updater on Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty damages menu.lst. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117646 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
