I recently upgraded to grub2 3 or 4 days ago, found out how to get it to put windows in the grub menu and everything was fine, booting into windows or linux worked perfectly everytime.

Now today i switch on my machine and after selecting the kernel i want to use,

Error - you need to load the linux kernel first.

After pressing a key i get back to the grub2 menu.

I can get into windows but not linux.

Tried to find documentation for the new grub, and have not been too successful.
