This bug shows itself at my place if I make any modifications to the automagic generated kernels. After a modification (for example removing the kernel from the title) a subsequent "sudo update-grub" seems to work, but fails to update the kernel list.

Parker's solution (#41) works, but it is also possible to force the recreation of the kernel list by changing an automagic option in menu.lst. After this you will get the option to install the package maintainer's version. This solution keeps all your settings (except the one you changed). (I cannot change updatedefaultentry to true. It gives "expr: non-numeric argument". I don't know what is should do, but do you all people have this?)

parker's 'problem' with the hidden menu is an option in menu.lst called "hiddenmenu". Commenting that out solves his problem.
