GRUB issues

[lwpack]

Hello. I have been having a few annoying grub issues that I assume is an easy fix, I just don't know how.
I am running Gutsy and occasionally when I install things via automatic updates, my grub menu is automatically reconfigured incorrectly so that ubuntu can't boot. It is an easy matter to change it back, but a bit annoying.
Below I give my current (and desired) grub menu, the grub menu that it keeps getting changed to, and the fdisk -l command. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Current GRUB menu:

title 1. Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/sda6 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
quiet
savedefault

title 2. Ubuntu 7.10 (recovery mode)
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/sda6 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

title 3. Ubuntu, memtest86+
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST ###

title 4. Windows Vista
root (hd0,2)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1

title 5. Dell Diagnostic System Utility
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1


GRUB menu it keeps getting changed to:

title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/sda8 ro quiet splash
