I have Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty as my main OS, where I have upgraded GRUB to
GRUB2. I have also installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on separate partitions.
I am trying to boot Kramic, I have a message that I need to load kernel
first. It looks like GRUB2 cannot find kernel. Probably the problem is
that I have /boot on a separate partition.
This is my config:
/boot/grub/grub.cfg (Karmic entry):
menuentry "Ubuntu karmic (development branch), kernel 2.6.31-2-generic
(on /dev/sda6)" {
set root=(hd0,7)

}
