Well, guys, if you install an Ubuntu Server or Desktop with FAI it's totally different from a kickstart+D-I preseeding auto install. The ucf + grub/menu.lst handling is working when using the kickstart + D-I preseeding installation method, but it's not usable (without the workaround) when using

I just want to add a me too for this bug. I'm not using any custom kernels, but I just have a noninteractive script that does my software updates, so I set UCF_FORCE_CONFFOLD=YES in the script and this causes nothing but problems for grub menu.lst configuration. Thanks to this bug report, it does
