I take it that you now have no problem booting after the root...setup... from the livecd. Grub legacy have precisely some problems not only with LBA cylinder but also with newer bios. Instead of trying to fix your grub, I suggest you convert your grub legacy to grub2. After all, karmic will default to grub2. sudo apt-get install grub-pc there will be further instructions during installation. good luck Regards, Goh Lip -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
