Grub Menu doesn't reflect menu.lst file
I have three Ubuntu partitions: /dev/hda1 (an older backup), /dev/hdb2 (a newer backup), and /dev/hda1 (the new partition I plan to use). Both backups can be deleted once I can get a menu entry that will boot to /dev/hda1. However, I've edited all my menu.lst entries, none of them effect grub's menu anymore unfortunately. It has a spelling error in the entry for /dev/hda1 and I've fixed it and refixed and rebooted several times and it's still there. It's quite frustrating.
So I tried using grub-install to make grub install itself onto the Master Boot Record. Here are my results: Quote:

How are you installing GRUB? eg are you using a live CD?
I prefer the "native" method for installing GRUB---open the grub shell, and enter: root (hdX,Y) setup (hd0) the root command tells the grub installer where /boot is--ie where the GRUB files are. If it is hda1, then the command will be "root (hd0,0)" The booting article at my site (link below) may be useful |

Have you checked the file /boot/grub/devices (I think that's right). It should have entries like
hda (hd0) hdb (hd1) If you're booting from hdb then maybe it needs to read that hdb is mapped to hd0. |
