NoOp,

I've done as you suggested and ran sudo update-grub. I've verified the 
UUIDs using vol_id and blkid. I've also verified the swap UUID. They are 
all correct. I did notice a message that I had missed before. During the 
boot process for 2.6.22-14-generic, towards the end I see this...

ide_media (some number) main: Unable to read from /proc/ide/ide0/hda/media.

Since this mentions hda it refers to my Windows drive that also has a 
previous Linux installation on it. Probably a symptom of whatever else 
is wrong here.

I am still unable to boot the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel.



I'm attaching the output of sudo fdisk -l, blkid, vol_id -u /dev/sd (and 
/dev/hd*) and menu.lst.

This is the output of /sudo /sbin/vol_id -u /dev/sd*. As you can see, I 
have no /dev/sd* devices.

rick at rick:/home/rick-bad$ sudo /sbin/vol_id -u /dev/sd*
/dev/sd*: error opening volume

Thanks again,
Rick
