So I did a noobish thing and decided to keep the 8.10 menu.lst on my system, thinking that would be a good idea, because I dual-boot, but as soon as I rebooted after the upgrade (not fresh install), I realized how stupid that was. I get error 15.
So, where can I find a generic menu.lst to copy and paste, so I can boot into 9.04 again?

I have the same exact problem, and I don't know how to remedy the situation since the farthest I get is grub bootloader. (From there, I "boot" into intrepid, and freeze at a blank screen).
Any help for me as well would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I found this in someone elses post:
title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=/dev/md0 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
That works to boot into ubuntu, but the root=/dev/md0 doesn't apply to my system, so when I booted in, I was taken to a shell. I removed that part, and the same thing happened because it couldn't find the root.

also, putting your uuid into the menu.lst entry help. to find that, type
uuid
in grub console
