Never touched the file. It is blooming embarrassing putting Jaunty on a 
box for other people to use and then have to deal with this blasted 
mysterious 'grub error 18' problem. After each and every reboot, I have 
to pop in the LiveCD, load konsole, sudo -i root, get into grub and run 
setup to get the box to boot into the installed Jaunty.

What blasted script keeps on murking about with grub?!?!!?!?!?
