Ok, I fixed the problem, but I really wanted to report the bug. This should be automatically detected. Users shouldn't have to know what hd(0,2) is or what sda3 means. -- grub overwrites my menu.lst https://launchpad.net/bugs/87183 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com http

Again looking through your grub.con file you can see: # kopt_2_6=root=/dev/hda1 ro This is where hda1 is coming from. You want to change hda1 to sda3 here. You could change '# howmany=all which' "controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst" to fix the number of the default OS. Or

Ohh sorry, I see that you said to put the windows entry at the end. Doing that makes the ubuntu entry the default. I want the windows entry to be the default. -- grub overwrites my menu.lst https://launchpad.net/bugs/87183 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists

Then where do I put the windows partition? Also, it automatically replaces hd(0,2) with the incorrect hd(0,0). Also, it automatically replaces sda3 with the incorrect hda1. Also I filed this because I think this should be automatic, I don't think users should have to know what hd0,0 means or wha

as you can read from the menu.lst: ## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified ## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below so don't do that. Put your windows entry at the end, and change the groot to reflect your ubuntu root-device. ** Change
