Thanks;

We can perhaps improve it more in following way:

If grub sees kernels A,B,C (found kernel), but it parses final menu.lst and sees that only A and B are used (while C is newest),
then it will just ask whether to generate default entry for C and prepend it (leaving rest of the config as hand-edited as it was).

Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic (NOT USED)
Warning: new kernel 2.6.31-14 is not selected to be used (probably because menu.lst was hand-edited before).
Should I generate entry to allow usage of 2.6.31-14? (Y/n): ...

^- something like that?
