I'm having same problem in Oneiric too and the strange fact is that the
Upgrade from Natty to Oneiric didn't upgrade my grub installation
keeping Grub legacy instead of Grub2. About last issue, i don't know if
this behaviour is correct or not.

Title:
update-grub not updating menu.lst
Status in “grub” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: grub
Up to date hardy with grub 0.97-29ubuntu18 in a kvm virtual machine. Running 'update-grub' results in:
$ sudo update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-12-386
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-11-386
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-7-386
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-5-386
Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
But menu.lst is not updated (though the timestamp is). It hasn't
updated since the vmlinuz-2.6.24-7-386 kernel.
I found this entirely odd, so I made sure to do an fsck and tried
again before submitting.
