Hi, I've been using Ubuntu since 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. I only recently fully switched to Linux OS's, and Ubuntu is now my primary. I currently have 9.10 installed. CURRENTLY I also have Backtrack 4, and Fedora 12 (Ugh!).
Previously, I thought something was wrong with my my filesystem in Ubuntu 9.10, and after an upgrade of the linux kernel, I started to get Error: You need to load the Kernel First. That's where my problems started. I had upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04 and I still had Grub Legacy, so I went through hoops to try and get it to work, but eventually everything just kind of broke, and I completely wiped off my partitions on it and started fresh installs of all 3.
And now that the new linux kernel is released, 2.6.31-20 generic (I think... That's what the highest number on a file I can find in /boot is)
I went through a few more hoops and ladders and tried to get it to work, but to no avail.
I've looked the internet for a solution to this and tried just about everything but there is no unified answer, and I've seen on Launchpad there are alot of bugs that are classified as 'Fixed', but the problem still remains.
I took out the 'quiet splash' part in the GRUB2 line for the newest kernel and it didn't do anything. It only changed it to "Error: Couldn't find file".
This is the top two kernels (Main and Recovery for the new, and Main and Recovery for the previous working one)
Mainly I just really hate grub2. Karmic seems to be kind of... a Vista. It just doesn't seem like it was finished.### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###

Has anyone else had this problem? And does anyone know how to fix it?
It's only one of the many problems Ubuntu has been giving me....
