On my stationary machine it finds all hard-drives, partitions, oses and every single Linux kernel. You'll just have to edit /etc/default/grub for your needs on the Linux from where you updated grub i.e. for getting rid of splash and recovery mode, setting defaults etc.. I also have an ice1712 card, a hoontech dsp24, and it worked ootb in 10.04 64bit. But just in the moment I have problems with sound/alsa in kernels 2.6.32.23 and 24 generic and preempt. With rt kernel 2.6.33.26-rt and jack2 (available i.e. in falktx ppas) and alsa updated to 1.0.23 all audio is fine. Even if both your cards are selectable in PA I think your problem has to do with multiple sound-card setup which seems to be not trivial in Ubuntu. Can you select them in Qjackctl too? good luck Gerhard Yes, I'm able to select them by Qjackctl too. I didn't make both cards a single virtual card until now. I can't boot any kernel-rt. There at least is an issue for X. I'm unable to start GDM. There's no sound for the preempt kernels. Because there isn't a xorg.conf anymore I'm unable to switch between drivers for the graphics ... right now I see there's a xorg.conf.failsafe using the vesa driver.

My fault not to backup grub.cfg or to switch to GRUB 1, resp. not to use GRUB 1 of my older Linux installs. 2. For the future I could backup grub.cfg or I should (have) read about GRUB 2 myself. So, okay, GRUB isn't that important, OTOH thank you for making it easier for me to keep the new GRUB. Anyway, I still wounder why GRUB does search for outdated GRUB 1 menu.lst's ;). Not the hint I was asking for, but OTOH a really good hint, because the new GRUB for sure will remove the old faithful GRUB.
