Two things I *think* might be true :) :-

1) After editing menu.lst you need to run update-grub under root or
sudo.

2) If you manually add any stanzas to menu.lst you should put them after
the line that says "### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" otherwise
when you run update-grub I think it gets rubbed out.

Cheers,
Al.
