Hi,
On a newly installed Debian Sid on an Inspiron 5160, I notice that grub always boots from the first entry even though I have "default saved" in the menu.lst file and all the stanzas have the savedefault keywork in them. Am I missing something here? If this is supposed to work, I can post the complete menu.lst file to ask for other's advice on what could be wrong in the file. The file has been automatically generated and I have changed only the "timeout" and "default" option.
thanks, ->HS
I can say this is a problem on my Debian workstation as well. On my server it works as intended. I'm half-tempted to file a bug for this (and probably will if I cannot resolve it with a bit more research).
Although I haven't tested it in about a month, it was certainly working well for me when I had several kernels that I was trying to select during some debugging (debian and home compiled). Perhaps posting your menu.lst might help.
I think if there is a `default' line at the top of the file, any savedefault lines are ignored.
