Re: Boot failure after GRUB 2.0 installation
You don't have your ubuntu cd at hand? It should always be at hand.
Grub is not just the small part of code on the MBR, it has to "know" where to look for the rest of the files, to connect to them. Installing grub2 only on the MBR can rarely help (it can help only if the other files are present correctly and you tell it where they are during the install to the MBR).
If there is REALLY no way to make an ubuntu cd/usb, you can try Sustem Rescue CD. It's smaller than ubuntu but not sure if there is a version that fits on 256MB. I think it's 300+MB.
If you can boot the system rescue you can chroot into your installation and install grub2 properly from within.
Other options that should fit on 256MB and have live mode option could be Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux if I remember correctly.
Once you get any linux that can boot you to command prompt or terminal in live mode, if you are not sure about the chroot procedure ask.
Darko.
