No need for the dd=... stuff. Simply booting from a live/rescue CD, using the / partition in the installed HDD as the root partition and then re-installing grub ought to solve the issue. The CD will ask you to specify the partition to be used as the root partition, if you choose a "rescue" option. Installing Grub from the CD may not work; but YMMV. Also, if the version of the kernel on the rescue CD and the installed partition are different, the procedure may fail. A better option, if the rescue CD option fails, would be to use the grub command line. This, assuming this is a UUID problem. Please search the web (sorry, my browser is acting up ... I just upgraded) for the term "grub2 rescue documentation"), before attempting this. Basically, you should enter the command line within grub, edit the boot paramaters, and edit the "root=" paramater in the line starting with "linux". But, you should really be looking this up on the ubuntuforums.org website. I guess they ought to know better. -- Mahesh T.
