Safe to do the kernel update to 2.6.24-21?

[plamen_todoroff]

I see that a lot of the problems discussed in a previuos thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=948584) are about "update wrecks /boot/grub/menu.lst". I expected the forum to be filled with lots of threads about the problem and official announces that a fix is coming and not to hurry and do the update to 2.6.24-21, but... none of it.

So, is this update problem happening only on certain systems, hardware combinations or something like that?

What is the cause for that menu.lst problem with the 2.6.24-21 and should I do the update? Is there something like a official anouncement or fix, or something to be done before I do the update for it to pass smooth?

Thanks.

Don't know the answer.

But the updated kernel didn't cause any apparent problems for my Acer 5051 laptop (64-bit Ubuntu Hardy).
