This bug has been fixed in hardy, in grub version 0.97-29ubuntu7 and above:
grub (0.97-29ubuntu7) hardy; urgency=low * debian/update-grub: use ucf to record changes to the autogenerated kernel list It is still advisable that boot options for other operating systems such as Windows be added outside the "automagic kernels list" markers, but going forward users will receive a debconf warning from update-grub if the update will overwrite local changes. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Medium => High Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- Default update-grub behaviour is not intuitive with respect to user modifications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/21412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
