Hi,

I recently moved my debian installation from hda3 to hda1, but now each
time I do a kernel upgrade and grub's menu.lst is regenerated it changes
root and kernel root back to hd(0,2) and /dev/hda3. I guess this is
specified somewhere in a config file, but I can't figure out which one.
Can someone point me in the righht direction?

What are the contents of /boot/grub/device.map ?

(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/sda

Already looked at that one. Didn't look like the file I'm looking for...

Just had a look at the /usr/sbin/update-grub script, but that doesn't
seem to be the problem either. When I run it it adds the boot options
correctly into grub...

I doubt it's the problem ,but are you sure that "/dev/sda" shouldn't be
"/dev/hdb"?

Have you checked the (commented) entries kopt and groot, like
# kopt=root=/dev/hda2 ro
and
# groot=(hd0,1)
in /boot/grub/menu.lst? IMHO these are used by update-grub, as the
comment above them says:

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs
