apt-get kernel update - modifications to grub/menu.lst

[petersk]

I've noticed one REALLY annoying aspect of doing apt-get updates/upgrades with gutsy.
I specifically have gone into my /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove the "quiet" for the menu entries so I can see what's happening at boot.
EVERY TIME I upgrade and there's a kernel upgrade, my menu.lst is modified and "quiet" is put back in! I understand that it has to be updated to use the new kernel, but couldn't there be a way to keep the "command-line" changes I've put in place?
Regards,
Kurt

Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst:

remove 'quiet' from
# defoptions=splash quiet
(don't remove the commentation mark '#')

To avoid automagically adding 'quiet' to boot options when updating grub

Thanks! I've also added acpi=off as I require it to have sound on my laptop. Now, when a kernel update takes place, I won't have to edit the menu.lst to get sound working again.
