Klaus, my bet is on (hd0,5) but after you confirm this, you may want to 
check if the kernel, initrd are all installed by
ls (hd0,5)/boot/

if configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg does not bring up the menu 
list, this means grub.cfg is not installed well but if the kernel is 
there in "ls (hd0,5)/boot/", then you can still boot up by

set root=(hd0,5)
linux (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.24-generic root=/dev/sda5 ro
initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.35.24-generic
boot


Don't forget to type "boot" an enter at the last line. Don't forget too 
to check if the kernel is the right one too (from ls /(hd0,5)/boot)

Good luck again. - Goh Lip
