Title:
  GRUB loads Windows 7 instead of Bootmenu with default Menu.lst

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  Ubuntu Release: 9.04 Desktop
  GRUB Package Version: 0.97-29ubuntu53

  I've recently tries out several Windows 7 Versions ( Beta, RC1, MSDN RTM Version ).
  After installation i had to reinstall GRUB ( like common if one installs Windows ).
  Installation worked fine. Before the Win7 tests i had Vista and used the Vista entries in GRUB's menu.lst.
  GRUB loaded Windows 7 but after reboot the Menu wasn't shown.

  I've determined that GRUB Activated the Windows 7 Partition.
  So i took my Live CD and changed the active flag back to my Linux partition.
  And everything worked fine until next Windows 7 boot.

  The Problem was the assumption i've could use my Menu.lst with the
  Vista entry unchanged.

  The Vista entry looked this:

  title		Windows Vista
  root		(hd0,0)
  savedefault
  makeactive
  chainloader	+1
  quiet

  I had to disable the makeactive command to get GRUB working as
  expected.

  So my Win7 entry looks like

  title		Windows 7 
  root		(hd0,0)
  savedefault
  #makeactive
  chainloader	+1
  quiet

  This solved the problem.
