Yep. update-grub script was changed. At least they were considerate enough to leave a backup, which I restored.
Afterwards, using the edgy liveCD and learning how to mount my rootdir, I found out that the 2.6.20 image was in fact installed. I reinstalled grub from the edgy liveCD, and edited menu.lst to add 2.6.20-12-generic... and voilá, ubuntu again! Did a few apt-get dist- upgrade and it even updated to 2.6.20-13-generic successfully... it didn't modify grub.lst though, but I don't know if it had to. Anyway, I blame the faulty update-grub script, so this bug might as well be a duplicate of 94718, but that's not for me to decide. -- update-manager 6.10 edgy -> 7.04 feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/95910 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
