Freddy, try this.....

grub rescue> set prefix=(hd0,x)/boot/grub
grub rescue> insmod (hd0,x)/boot/grub/normal.mod
grub rescue> normal


When you get a normal grub prompt (grub>)
grub> configfile (hd0,x)/boot/grub/grub.cfg


Notes:
o  (hd0,x) is ubuntu partition, 'x' is a number
o  assume /boot is in /
    otherwise use the right path..like /grub/grub.cfg    etc.

ps: I'll send a second message if normal mode doesn't work
     (that would be linux mode)
