This is a resend, having problems sending again... if duplicate, sorry.


Bob, you've other /boot for other OS; you're sure (hd0,5) (and is 
actually sda6) is /boot for 8.04 and not other OS? AND UUID is for sda6 
and not sda5? Just making sure.

(initrams) results in trying to boot other kernels or other OS which 
does not match the (hd0,x) partition. and "files not found' means it 
cannot find the /vmlinuz or /vmlinuz-xxxx.

May give you a clue on this.
