Hi and welcome to the forums :-)

How did you install Ubuntu; using Wubi?

If with Wubi, can you still boot Windows normally?

[sharath2k2]

yes,i did it with the wubi only.i can run wondows normally.the only problem is with the ubuntu only.it goes into the grub and doesnot load the kernel at all.if i say boot,it gives a message "kernel not found"

You can boot Ubuntu manually but you need to supply more than 'boot'. If you upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 then see the link in Rubi1200's signature to the Wubi megathread. Look for Problem #2, Solution #2. Read through it and if you need more help post back.

If Solution #2 works, look for the Permanent Fix after you boot into Ubuntu.
