On my fedora install menu.lst is a symlink to grub.conf. Perhaps
Fedora uses grub.conf, and menu.lst is just a symlink to help users of
other linux distros access the correct file, but for some reason your
menu.lst is an actual file. Check for the existence of
/boot/grub/grub.conf. Maybe that helps?
