I am not sure I understand your setup. You say you were updating just
fine, but the system was updating the wrong menu.lst file? Do you have
/another/ Ubuntu install on this system? I fail to see how you could
have two otherwise. I could be wrong on that though. Is it possible
that the new boot setup is booting to another Ubuntu instance altogether?
I need more info....
