Kernel updates run update-grub, which automatically and automagically creates 
the right menu.lst (at least that is what is supposed to happen). Your problem 
might be with the system map file, system.map. This file contains the linux 
device names that correspond to the grub device names. Take a look at the file 
and see if it is correct. If it is not right, you can try to regenerate it or 
you can edit it by hand.
