I have followed the instruction but I still have the problem. When I start my computer and select either ver 20 or ver 19, I have the following message:-
Starting up...
[0.000000]ACPI:BIOS age (1999) fails cutoff (2000), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI
In ver 19, I will see "Loading please wait". But in ver 20, nothing happens to the computer.
ver .20 is messed up right now, just continue using .19 until a fix comes down in updates.
If it really bothers you uninstall ver .20 kernel grub will re-write itself.
You may want to disable the proposed repositories until this is fixed.
Castles Made of Sand,
Fall in the Sea,
Eventually!
Thanks. Can I delete ver 20 ref from the MBR?
I tried both options and neither worked. When I tried the terminal option I typed grub and hit enter. After a minute I had grub> on the screen. When I typed in "root (hd0,1)" and hit enter it said "selected disk does not exist". XP is on the master HD and Ubuntu is on the slave so wouldn't that be discs 0 and 1? Just for kicks I tried (hd1,2) but that did not work either.
I used supergrub which works so so but it keeps defaulting to discs 1 and 2 instead of 0 and 1. At least I can get into Ubuntu now.
tallpaul66, (hd0,1) means the first drive, second partition. The 0 in (hd0,1) means the first drive, and the 1 in (hd0,1) means the second partition. GRUB starts numbering at 0.
So (hd0,1) is GRUB-talk for /dev/sda2.
Similarly, (hd1,2) is /dev/sdb3, the second drive, third partition.
Perhaps try Catlett's instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...95&postcount=1
This has saved me on more than one occasion.

I've used it for both Suse and Ubuntu.
