Hiyas,
I have a fresh install of 11.04 and have it installed to an external USB drive. When grub starts prior to getting the grub menu, i get the following 4 errors:
Error: No such device :120e77e5-40ca-4d84-8700-1fbbb7fad128
Error: No such disk
Error: No suitable mode found
Error: No video mode activated
I am somewhat familiar with grub2, however, i haven't had any luck getting these errors resolved. The grub2 menu is normal black and white low res text, no background displayed. I am also able to boot into Ubuntu.
Here is my current grub.cfg:

There are no other OS's on the external drive. I donno what the deal is... I'm also confused to why grub is referencing the linux partitions... for that matter, any partition on my system as msdos. They are either ext4, ntfs, or swap.
If anyone can shed some light on this for me, id much appreciate it.
