Title:
  jaunty to karmic upgrade failed to update menu.lst (update-grub
  missing from kernel-img.conf)

Status in “grub” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Symptoms
  ========

  No sound devices in Sound Preferences -> Hardware, or no video support
  are the most obvious symptoms. Running 'uname -a' reports a kernel
  version from Jaunty (e.g. 2.6.28-11-generic) rather than one from
  Karmic (e.g. 2.6.31-14-generic)

  Summary
  =======

  Upgrades from Jaunty to karmic may fail to configure the new kernel in
  grub's menu.lst. The Jaunty installed kernel-img.conf is missing a
  post-inst hook to call update-grub. We are investigating what would
  cause this at the moment.

  Workaround
  ==========

  Running 'sudo update-grub' should update the grub menu.lst to list the
  new Karmic kernel. A reboot of the machine is required to activate the
  new kernel. Subsequent to doing this, some users report that the sound
  hardware is detected but muted - simply adjusting the volume up should
  work at this point.
