[Bug 202009] Re: update-grub not updating menu.lst

[Jackflame]

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.
