Bug Description

Hi,
I have my root partition on LVM.

in fact I have a dual boot, with 3 boot partitions with grub.
the first one can boot windows or linux1 or linux2.
the two seconds (boot1 and boot2) got their own grub that boots respectively on /dev/mapper/ubuntu-linux1 /dev/mapper/ubuntu-linux2

when I upgraded /dev/mapper/ubuntu-linux1 from feisty tout gutsy, the menu.lst file for boot1 was messed with incoherent boot drive. it choosed hd(0,4) instead of hd(0,5), and also the initrd line was absent, and the root device was called with /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root or something like that.

I think that when root is on LVM, it would be safer that the upgrade process doesn't modify this menu.lst file at all.
