Add this to /boot/grub/menu.lst

title           Ubuntu
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-***
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-***

Replace the *** with the values that you can find by simply cd'ing
into /boot and see what's there.

Good luck.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
