The problem was the dummy "Other operating Systems" entry in menu.lst. I guess this entry is made by the Debian installer to provide options to boot into other OSs detected during installation. If I comment out this entry, then "default=saved" works perfectly. If that dummy entry is retained, then "default=saved" doesn't work at all. Should I be filing a bug report for this? ->HS -- Please remove the underscores ( the '_' symbols) from my email address to obtain the correct one.
