Hey Bashing-om, thank you for another reply.
I gave most of that information earlier in this post, but here it is all in one place along with any detail that I stripped out before (in the interest...
Bashing-om, thank you for the references. I spent a bit of time looking at them. I still am not sure what to do to get grub to boot into the newer kernels though. I'm a bit hesitant to go hack...
I am absolutely certain I am booting from the external drive. If I boot the same drive from another machine, I see the same install. I'm quite sure.
Philinux, "linux-generic is already the...
Nope. It really is /dev/sdb -- I already replied to you with the fdisk information earlier in this thread. Mount shows it is /dev/sdb too, so looking to change it somewhere it is not won't help me.
carl4926, I don't think I would be able to boot from the external drive if I disconnected from sda, because grub would then reference the external drive as sda and would look for sdb. You are really...
Seems like you are clear. sda is internal, and I believe it is 750G. sdb is external and looks like it is about 500G by what I've already shown.
To be more clear, I don't care about what is on sda...
Yes, you can install more than one copy of Linux on a hard drive. In short, you make your second install on a different partition of the drive. My recollection is that ubuntu asks you if you want...
carl4926, thank you again for your advice.
The thing I don't like about grub-install on /dev/sda is I want to be able to boot my external drive from other machines as well. I'm assuming here that...
carl4926, thank you for your interest and responsiveness.
fdisk -l seems a bit more than the detail needed, but no harm so here it is all the same:

O.k., the whole "use grub-install also" thing looks like a fair point. Thank you very much for the replies. Sadly, I am not quite yet enlightened enough to get it all working quite right. I am in...

Hey Frogs -- thanks for the thoughts.

O.k., now things have changed. I tried reboot a few times and it always booted to Metacity. Now I tried turning the system off and then powercycling before turning it on. Now when I boot, the...
I don't get any login menu. It boots directly into Metacity. I know I'm not doing something right. I'd be happy to lose the Metacity option altogether. Any specific suggestions?

The 64 bit version still boots similarly. Which is to say, trying to boot directly to the "normal" 64-bit boot option fails out. Trying to boot with nomodeset DOES work, resulting in a functioning...
