Thanks for your reply Gregg. Firstly I am using whatever version travels with the ubuntu repository so you may not be able to help me. The actual configuration from my menu.lst file is here: <START MENU.LST> ## ## End Default Options ## title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-20-386 root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-20-386 root=/dev/hdb1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-20-386 savedefault boot title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-20-386 (recovery mode) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-20-386 root=/dev/hdb1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-20-386 boot title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-19-386 root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-19-386 root=/dev/hdb1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-19-386 savedefault boot title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-19-386 (recovery mode) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-19-386 root=/dev/hdb1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-19-386 boot title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386 root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386 root=/dev/hdb1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-9-386 savedefault boot title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386 (recovery mode) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386 root=/dev/hdb1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-9-386 boot title Ubuntu, memtest86+ root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin boot ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST # This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian # ones. title Other operating systems: root # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/hda1 title Windows XP Professional x64 Edition root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 <END MENU.LST> I thought I'd also point out that I've tried using a different sata controller that I have and it allows grub to run without error. So the onboard nforce 3 sata controller on my motherboard seems to be the problem. I hope this helps.
