Glad you've got your computer booting OK again.
Just as a last note, I wanted to mention that a really easy way to manage multiple linux distros is first to decide which distro you want to manage the boot process (Ubuntu in your case), and then when you install other distros, have them install their Grub
to the boot sector of their own partition, and not the master boot record (MBR). Then to load them, all you have to do is put in your Ubuntu menu.lst an entry like:
Code:
title OpenSUSE
root (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
That way you don't have to worry about adding an entry that specifies the kernel, initrd, and all the correct boot options with the kernel. Let each distro figure that out for you, and then just "chainload" it to boot it from your main grub menu. And also, you can then delete any of your distros (other than the one controlling the MBR), and not have to worry about boot problems.
