Grub problem

[ronbo53 at comcast.net]

I just got it working, my board had the 1002 version of the bios so I flashed them to version 1004.  That did the trick rebooted and it booted to let me finish the install.  Made my day I was worried I wasn't going to be able to get Ubuntu to load and would have to revert back to Libranet.  Thanks for the help.
