Sorry to drop in as a just-lurker: let's not forget - it isn't grub2
thats insane, it's ubuntu's grub setup monstrosity [1]. There's nothing
that stops you writing a grub configuration file and deactivate the grub
updating "magic". Have a look at '/boot/grub/grub.cfg' for a good
starter.

Rather than pining (pine'ing, get it?) for the really old days of lilo, I just pine for the slightly less new days of grub 1. I wish the config file was still one simple, relatively readable thing. Extensible is good, but it seems that they went WAY past the point of diminishing returns.
