How To Install Ubuntu 8.04 With Software RAID1 - what about grub and kernel upgrade

[denbert]

Hi there,

I have a Debian Lenny running with same setup as the mentioned how to in subject.

I have this in /boot/grub/menu.lst

# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
#            grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
#            grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
#            and /usr/share/doc/grub-legacy-doc/.

default         0
fallback        1

timeout         5

# Pretty colours
color cyan/blue white/blue

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

I've noticed that a kernel upgrade changes my menu.lst

How do I set the system to automatically have same layout with the fallback settings after a kernel upgrade?

It shouldn't mess with anything at all, just keep adding them to the bottom of hte list. I do think there is a entry that specifies how many old versions should be shown...

Here's mine from ubuntu...

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
##      howmany=7
# howmany=all
