Installed kernel 2.6.28.1 on ubuntu 9.10, grub kernel load error

[theegyptianwarrior]

Over the past few days I have been trying to install an older kernel (kernel 2.6.28.1) on ubuntu 9.10 64-bit WUBI installation. I compiled, installed, and updated my grub for the kernel. When I reboot, the grub menu correctly gives me the option of booting into the older kernel but when I do so I receive the following error message:

error: you need to load the linux kernel first.

I am at a complete loss on how to fix this. I even downgraded grub but I still get the same error.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I googled this same error and got the solution.

Run sudo update-grub and everything should work fine. If that doesnt work, move all the files ending with -28-generic from /boot/ into a temporary folder and copy them back to their original location and try the above command with an additional sudo grub-install /dev/sda.

If you get an error for the second command, ignore it and reboot your system and everything should be fine.
