Thank you for the help GRUB 2 does not find the kernel. More generally, the /mnt/lfs/boot directory is not seen by GRUB 2.
Also, /dev/sda3 was not mounted on /mnt/lfs when I tried that. /mnt/lfs a folder on /dev/sda1? The problem is that if I mount /dev/sda3 on /mnt/lfs, then for some reason I can not see any of the directories in /mnt/lfs from Kubuntu. What I just tried was to copy vmlinux-2.6.35.9-lfs-6.7 from /mnt/boot to /boot and then run update-grub on Kubuntu. This time the kernel was found and it tried to boot it, proceeded a bit and eventually failed as I was expecting to happen. The problem has to do with mounting /dev/sda3 on /mnt/lfs probably. More generally, I do not know whether I should touch /etc/fstab or /mnt/lfs/etc/fstab or both...
