Title:
  when multiple kernel flavors installed, grub sorts them alphabetically

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Hello, I tried to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 and it didn't go well.  I
  was using the update-manage and after it downloaded all the packages
  there was some dependency issues and it failed.  I dropped to a
  command line and did a series of

  apt-get -f install

  and

  apt-get dist-upgrade

  and eventually had to remove the openoffice.org-core package and then
  I was able to get the upgrade to finish.

  However when I rebooted the system couldn't boot.

  I was getting a;

  mountall:/proc/self/mountinfo

  File not found among other errors.

  After scouring the web for an hour I saw other people who had had
  problems with menu.lst pointing to the wrong kernel.  Sure, enough
  that was my problem as well.

  After using the 'e' option from the grub boot to point to the latest
  kernel image I have been able to boot.

  I have a customized menu.lst and I can't recall if I was asked to
  replace it and if I did or did not allow update-manager to replace it.

  I have attached my dist-upgrade logs and my menu.lst, sorry I didn't
  have more details but I upgraded last night and it is all a little
  hazy this morning.  :)

  thanks for all the good work!
