The problem could be that you installed Ubuntu into an extended partition (i.e., /dev/sda5). Solaris' GRUB bootloader does not recognize extended partition. This probably also affected chainloading. GRUB2 is so new, everyone is still building her/his experience. However, b/f you reinstall Ubuntu 9.10 into a PRIMARY partition (/sda2 or /sda3), please de-activate the os-prober in Ubuntu (as I described in a previous post), see whether that helps. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
