I think you may have grub-legacy reinstalled and remnants from grub2 that  
boots 2.6.35-24 uncleared.
Suggest that you completely purge both grub-legacy and grub2 (don't reboot  
at this stage!) and install only one grub system. Even after installation,  
do "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" again (assuming sda).
