Title:
  update-grub not updating menu.lst

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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.
