[xubuntu-users] Grub breaks after kernel 3.5.0-23

[mikeossur]

I solved my problem, more or less.  The MBR is basically the problem.  I 
have a fairly large raid array (1.5 tb drives) and I should have 
partitioned the drives differently instead of just doing it the easy way.

The fix is to use the --force option when using grub-install.  # 
grub-install --force /dev/sda

I still cannot use the latest kernel .25 but at this point I will stop 
upgrading the kernel and I will do a complete re-install instead in the 
late future.  It is just my home computer so its not the end of the 
world by any means.

Also, sorry about the double email I did earlier.  I hope it was not too 
annoying to anyone.

Thanks for every ones help on this too.
Mike
