Iru,

   I didn't completely understand what if any edit needs to be made in any of 
the /etc/grub.d/XX_files to have the LTS entry listed in the boot menu. The 
following in 10_linux:

machine=`uname -m`
case "x$machine" in
     xi?86 | xx86_64)
	list=`for i in /boot/vmlinuz-* /vmlinuz-* /boot/kernel-* ; do
                   if grub_file_is_not_garbage "$i" ; then echo -n "$i " ; fi
               done` ;;
     *)
	list=`for i in /boot/vmlinuz-* /boot/vmlinux-* /vmlinuz-* /vmlinux-* 
/boot/kernel-* ; do
                   if grub_file_is_not_garbage "$i" ; then echo -n "$i " ; fi
	     done` ;;
esac

indicates that whatever 'vmlinuz-*' files found should automatically be included 
in the grub list by grub-mkconfig. In the case of the normal kernel and lts, 
then it would find both:

   vmlinuz-linux
   vmlinuz-linux-lts

So what new lines are needed in the config files before just running:

# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

?
