Binary package hint: grub2
Rectification : The installed package is grub-pc version 1.99~20101210-1ubuntu2
I'm running Natty in dual boot with Maverick in separated partitions. For each kernel update in Natty the grub menu keeps the entry for Maverick. After the last update (I noted that the kernel was updated but haven't seen if grub was updated too) the meny entry to Maverick was lost. Running update-grub manually don't resolve this issue as the update don't detect the 10.10 version.
~$ sudo update-grub

I've just got this problem after updating the Natty Kubuntu kernel to 2.6.38-5-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 16:10:15 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux from 2.6.38-3. I have a number of partitions (1 of which is Kubuntu and 2 Ubuntu). The Lucid Lynx Partition (sdb5) is not shown in the grub2 menu list, but is still there as shown by
