did more searching with the new error message and thought it might be a problem in the grub.cfg... doesn't look like it, here is a snip of the contents:
Code:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-23-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'

-22 works -23 does not. time to learn about corrupt kernels and how to fix/rebuild/reinstall them? thoughts? I'll keep looking for ideas.
