After some problems I reinstalled grub2 with
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
followed by sudo update-grub
I can startup ubuntu 10.4 64 now, but before the login the screen issued a warning about depreciated vga and that I have to use set gfxpayload.
After that the screen stays long black with a blinking cursor at the left.
Furthermore I can see in my boot info that there is a problem with the location of img.core.
I dont know if these problems are related.
Please help
My boot-info is:
