Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
This might be the same as #103297, but it didn't happen to me during kernel
updates for 7.10.
When updated to 8.04 using the update manager, the default index was left
unchanged, which was an error.
This is a dual-boot machine, with the default set to the windows entry (#4 in
7.10). Upon upgrading to 8.04, this needed to be changed to #6 in order to
refer to the same entry, but was left at #4, which defaulted to the memtest86
entry. That would be very confusing indeed for grandma.
The menu.lst for 8.04 had two different ubuntu kernels (plus a rescue
mode for each) instead of one kernel, which is why the index was off by
2.
Also, this machine was subject to another (totally separate) bug which causes
ubuntu to fail to boot they 8.04 kernel without a modification to the kernel
parameters.
If the update process was intending to modify menu.lst *after* the first
reboot, this could explain why it failed.
If this is not a duplicate of a known bug, I can submit my menu.lst and
any other information that would be useful. Thanks.
