HI!, Cavsfan,
Thanks for your response, I thought I should Post the actual GrubMenu grep output,as the pattern is clear. This from the Grub of my main hdd 12.10 having just altered the 'Titles' in its 06_custom file.
The actual 12.10 Grub Boot menu displays only the first 20 lines; whereas the 12.04.2 Grub 1.99-2ubuntu displays all of them, plus a lot more and garbage besides.
Code:
:~$ grep -e "menuentry " -e "submenu" /boot/grub/grub.cfg | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | cut -d "'" -f1,2 | nl --starting-line-number=0
0 menuentry "Quantal sda10" {

Nearly all of the entries with spurious '(on /dev/sdxX)' suffixes are corrupt inside and lead to 'initramfs' prompt hang ups, or no kernal found errors.
LInes 29 & 30 are ancient relics of an overlong night session.
I do not know if this clears things up a bit, or makes it even more obscure.
Chao!, bogan.
