LukasThyWalls,
I wouldn't say that kgrubeditor was updating "without problems"; all of the kernel boot stanzas in your earlier menu.lst are missing the "uuid" line to tell grub which disk to look at for the kernel and initramfs files.
If you didn't tell grub on upgrade to keep the existing file, then that suggests there's another bug here, preventing display of the prompt in some cases. Have you done something to your configuration to force all upgrades to be non-interactive?

Recommended by whom? kgrubeditor had known problems working together with update-grub prior to Ubuntu 9.10; if there's documentation somewhere recommending its use, we should probably get that corrected.

None, except for a text editor. Why does your bootloader require ongoing management?
