Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

after upgrading to grub2 without any error and reboot,
I found in grub menu no entry for other linux distro and window installed in my system.
Cheked /boot/grub/grub.cfg and found no entry after " /etc/grub.d/40_custom".
So I have to copy them from my old menu.lst and reboot.
Now this work fine as desired.

Require to create menu list like old menu.lst and a backup after any change in grub.cfg
