Hi Georg,

I believe that adding the Solaris chainloader entry in the Ubuntu Grub 
won't work.

The Grub that ships with Feisty won't allow for this, so you need to 
acivate the Solaris partition, and add the Ubuntu chainloader entry to 
Solaris' /boot/grub/menu.lst and boot from there.

Happy playing!

Patrick
