Title:
  grub: after an upgrade, it shouldn't launch an rt kernel

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  I have upgraded from an Ubuntu hardy to an Intrepid, using the
  standard procedue.

  After rebooting, I discovered that the system was very slow and went
  to freeze after a few hours of work (see this bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/374284).

  The problem was that grub, after the upgrade, selected an 'rt' kernel as default option, and any rt kernel I have tried works very badly on my computer.
  After manually reconfiguring grub and selecting again a normal kernel, the system was run smoothly.

  I believe this issue is more common than what believed. Many newbies
  report that their systems 'suck and are very slow' after a dist
  upgrade, therefore they usually uninstall the distro or abandon
  Ubuntu.

  So, after an upgrade grub should never select a kernel of the
  different type than the one it is running: if I am running a i386
  kernel, the new option should be another i386, and the same for rt and
  any other type of kernel.
