    Help us by giving the last 3 entries in the Ubuntu 
/boot/grub/menu.lst file. You can do this from fedora by mounting ubuntu 
and in a terminal use $ sudo cat to get the file. It will tell you/us 
what happened to your load. As you say, the load didn't end right.

    The fast way to fix this might be to just re-load Ubuntu :-)
