Title:
  menu.lst messed up on kernel upgrade

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  1) Ubuntu Karmic Desktop 9.10 AMD64
  2) Latest grub (not grub2), kernel version 2.6.31-14-generic
  3) Upon upgrade using do-release-upgrade from terminal on Ubuntu Jaunty Desktop, new kernels are installed. These kernels are inserted into menu.lst incorrectly, or grub is loading incorrectly. This causes 'Error 15' when grub cannot find the kernels at /boot/vm*

  entries are entered as /boot/vm* even if a separate /boot mount is
  used which requires /vm*

  Fixes:
  1) Boot from a rescue disk, mount the /boot partition, and remove '/boot' from menu.lst
  2) Install grub2, which automatically detects either case
  3) Copy the contents of /boot into the / mount under /boot, delete the /boot partition using parted or other tool, removing it from /etc/fstab
