Hello all.
I installed Debian, but the installer failed to install grub.
I also have Ubuntu, so I installed grub manually by chrooting to the Debian
partition.The two systems are installed on separate disks.
Debian is installed on a SATA disk.I didn't have a Sata controller on the
motherboard so I had used a PCI SATA card.My bios can't boot on that disk
(not sure why).
My only option to boot Debian is trough Ubuntu's grub.So I copied the two
entries from Debian's menu.lst to Ubuntu's,but when I select Debian in the
menu I get an error:  "Could not mount selected partition" (or something
similar).I've also tried reinstalling grub from Rescue mode on the Debian
DVD, but no luck.

The two menu.lst entries:

 title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686
root=UUID=5dd1a349-c311-40ca-82f4-a7a39ca134a3 ro
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686 (single-user mode)
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686
root=UUID=5dd1a349-c311-40ca-82f4-a7a39ca134a3 ro single
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686


I tried changing the UUID to /dev/sda2 but still no luck.
I'm sure that Debian is installed on that partition (I know from fdisk -l in
Ubuntu).

Ubuntu is installed on (hd0,2).

Please help.Thanks.
