menu.lst gets misconfigured on kernel upgrades

[xchip]

Kernel upgrades keeps changing in my menu.lst the line "root (hd0,0)" into "root (hd1,0)"

Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Look for the line that has groot= and make the change there.



## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,0)

Just happened to me I think. Well, Adept update after initial install of 7.10 just blew up during the updating process (Adept crashed) and when I reboot, file not found when attempting to select 7.10. (I have 8.04 installed and that boots up just fine).

Mine is currently commented out. Are you suggesting that it should be uncommented? If so, to which values? (hd0,0)? Mine currently reads (hd0,2).

Can you clarify a bit as to what edits you mean specifically?

Then your should read:


## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,2)

(the hash symbol included. Grub still reads it--the exception to the rule)

Change the (hd0,2) part to (hd0,0) or whatever you need it to be.
And as logos34 said lieave the # at the front of the line in the automagic section of menu.lst. comments are started with ##
