Grub2 boot entries don't change 3 years 14 weeks ago

My grub2 boot entries never change. I have run sudo update-grub and it finds all the proper kernels and such and says that it has updated. I check with the menu.lst and grub.cfg and they both look to be correct, however, when I go to boot I am stuck with my old boot entries.

I'm not sure if this is a GRUB issue or a Ubuntu issue, so posting it here and hoping it's the right place.

I recently (ie, within the last few days) installed Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit on my system. When I rebooted, I got:

Grub loading... error: out of disk grub_rescue>
