Sorry, Dave
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
should be
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


And, if you are very very very sure that it is not grub-legacy, You can 
start from the *Reboot into Ubuntu 11.04 (dev/sda8)* part. The part 
above it is to make sure you use grub2. But no harm if you do it even if 
you're on grub2.

I think it is your monitor resolution that your grub cannot assess.
So what we did is to set to low res of 640x 480.
You can check your res at grub prompt by
grub> vbeinfo

pipe output, it can be long.
