OK, I installed ubuntu-ultimate edition the other day and it ran great and probably still does but...
I partitioned the disk so that i had 10g left for a second OS.
sda1 1gig /boot
sda5 230+ gigs /home
sda3 10gig / ubuntu-ult
sda6 10gig / ubuntu-studio
I used the boot partition for both installs knowing the second would overwrite the first. So i copied the grub/menu.lst from the first install added it to the new menu.lst after the second install. Below is a copy of my /boot/grub/menu.lst with the first 4 kernels being those for booting ubuntu-ultimate and the following 2 kernels for studio.
so now ubuntu-studio boots and ultimate does not.
can any one tell me how to get Ubuntu-ultimate to boot.
My /etc/fstab for both installs follow also.
