[aklug] Re: Ubuntu 9.04 grub issues

Scott,

1. Do all three Jaunty grub entries fail to boot? The recovery mode
entry is a little different than what you have for the normal boot.
Try both.

2. My suspicion is that UUID is the problem, but thats just personal
bias. It doesn't take much, practically anything, to change the UUID
of a partition.

Find your UUID list:
blkid

Then cut-paste the lines into the menu.lst file.

Or just run update-grub and have your menu.lst get automagically
reconfigured for you.
