From an older post
Just a small hint for those who are stuck when rebooting after
installing Mythbuntu 9.10 (Karmic). Since the new grub uses a
different syntax the script probing for the kexec params cannot cope.
Also, menu.lst is not a symlink to grub.cfg anymore and hence isn't
found. Here's a small solution
1. Make sure you boot from the USB stick once more
2. mount the /dev/sda4 somewhere (i.e. /mnt/ubuntu)
3. go to the <mountpoint>/boot/grub dir and create the softlink: ln -s
grub.cfg menu.lst
4. make a mock-up grub.cfg compatible with the patchstick parser:
default 0
timeout 3
title ubuntu
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda4 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
boot
5. make a copy of this file in the same dir. Grub and kernel updates
will destroy it, so keep an eye out for changes.
6. reboot and remove the usb stick
cheers,
M
Can you post the parted print output and a copy of your menu.lst?

I have 9.10 installed, though I'm having... other problems. As for booting,
I have a seperate /boot which I have formatted to ext3. It's my sda4
partition, and the one I have grub installed to.
Since my /boot was it's own partition, and I created my own menu.lst in
/boot/grub, I figured there was a chance that atv-bootloader would see my
/boot as / when it mounted it, so inside it I created an empty directory
called boot/ and then symlinked a "grub" within it to the parent folder.
So.. from a running system, I basically did this:
cd /boot
mkdir boot
cd boot
ln -s ../grub .
And of course I also created a menu.lst from the grub.cfg file by hand. Hope
this helps...

Same deal. Can't get past the boot with either a boot_linux.sh or a
menu.lst.

I am in the same situation only I would really like to use 9.10 and
specifically have to use MythTV 0.22 for compatibility with my backend
server. I have heard that 9.04 can work.
My problems seem to be from the boot-loader (GRB2 vs GRUB). Where are
you getting stuck?

I am having no success with Ubuntu 9.10, and from what I'm reading
people are recommending to use 8.04 instead. Has anyone had success
with Ubuntu 9.10 coexisting with the AppleTV software?
