9.10 is using grub2. It does not use menu.lst. It uses grub.cfg which was generated automatically.
see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
Looks like the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 did not consider grub2 used.

I have to manually update grub.cfg to make the server boot to new kernal.

I tried "apt-get dist-upgrade" before. It also failed with looking for menu.lst and no update to grub.cfg

oh, i looked at the wrong place. It seems that the real error was:
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.32-30-server
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

But what caused it? It's a dell server PowerEdgeT110 and no sound card in it so no /dev/snd.
