Grub menu.lst numbers begin with 0. So 0, 1, 2, 3, 4: 4 is the fifth item in the menu, which doesn't exist. Change the default to 3, as in default=3.

Never seen default=4 or whatever
You sure it's not default 4
But, that would be the 5th menu entry, as grub counts 0 as 1

Hello guys, i tried

default 3 instead of
default 4

indeed it worked, thnx!

I found out, that "savadefault" - command
doesnt work,

thats because "grub-reboot 3"
doesnt work either.
