Boot into 10.04 fails! Accessing the grub menu, however, allows boot into 10.04, kernel 2.6.31.21. Grub confirmed to be GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu6.

Please indicate solution, and thanks your assistance.

grub-install -v
grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu6)

What exactly do you mean by "fails"? What screens do you see? Is there disc activity? Do you get error messages?

What graphics card do you have?

lspci | grep VGA

Catharsis, thanks for all your hard work on this forum! "Fails" means can't boot into 2.6.32.22!

lspci | grep VGA

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

Thanks again for your hard work here!!
