Menu.lst doesn't get updated with grub 1.95+20071101-1 release

[shirish]

Hi all,
This might be no longer the matter at head but since I've the issue
hence posting the same. Might be a repost in which I'm sorry.

 I'm running grub 1.95+20071101-1 release on Hardy.

This is the pastebin of menu.lst http://pastebin.ca/877007

while this is the pastebin of grub.cfg http://pastebin.ca/877010

when I do sudo update-grub I get this :-

shirish@Mugglewille:~$ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password for shirish:
Updating /boot/grub/grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-5-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-5-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-4-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-4-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-2-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-2-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
done

Now this doesn't effect menu.lst & unfortunately grub2 doesn't work
(the menu doesn't work something to do with unifont.pff). So each time
I've to manually add entries to /boot/grub/menu.lst to tell where the
new kernels are.

Any ideas, suggestions other than installing grub 0.97 ?

GRUB 2 uses grub.cfg, not menu.lst.
