I ran the software manager upgrade/update install of 11.04. When I reboot almost immediately a quick error flashes on screen that says something like "missing prefix" then it goes to an unfamiliar menu with kernel choices that are very old and look nothing like my desktop. I think it may be some old install or something I dont know. I have an eee pc. I originally installed with WUBI but have done other kernel upgrades with no issues.

That "prefix not set" message is expected, and harmless (according to the grub developer.) I've been running a wubi natty and it appears every time you boot.

The new kernel should be 2.6.38-8. If you don't see that, then why don't you boot up a live CD and run the bootinfoscript (http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/). That might help figure out what's going on. Also, when you upgraded did you get any errors or messages that indicated something strange was happening?
