Bug#412652: Etch: grub-reboot is working, but does not save the topmost menu.lst entry from being used

[Clemens Perz]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-23

Entries in the list:

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-3-686-bigmem
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-686-bigmem root=/dev/sda2 ro
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-686-bigmem
savedefault

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-3-686-bigmem (single-user
mode)
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-686-bigmem root=/dev/sda2 ro single
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-686-bigmem
savedefault

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-3-686-bigmem (resq)
root            (hd1,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-686-bigmem root=/dev/sdb1 ro
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-686-bigmem
savedefault

run grub-reboot 2 and /boot/grub/default has this:

0:2

#

#
# WARNING: If you want to edit this file directly, do not remove any line
# from this file, including this warning. Using `grub-set-default\' is
# strongly recommended.

Every thing looks fine, but the system will always boot entry 0 and ignore
the wish for booting number 2.

Cheers,
