Isn't it a problem booting the system rescue cd? Because it is booting from the cd it shouldn't have anything to do with ubuntu or the grub on the hard drive.
Some background: System rescue CD seemed to be the solution to our backup needs as it boots on a test machine and backs up, restores etc. painlessly. But now it is not working on the main machine with a different motherboard and linux software raid 10 and lvm. We also had problems getting mindi / mondo to boot. It might be worth looking at clonezilla.
