Karmic has so screwed up my machine that I have trouble even using it.
The root cause: grub2.  I had a multiboot system running smoothly, now
it is a chaotic mess.  I am at a point of deciding whether to reformat
everything and start again or just use the only partition that works,
9.04.  Grub2 sucks.  I have all bootable partitions, but apparently the
grub designators for the partitions are all rearranged.  For instance,
my 9.04 is on /dev/sda1, but according to the menu.lst that will launch
it properly has some uuid that I can't even read or figure out.  All my
other choice on the menu usually come back saying there is no partition
there, etc, etc.  My /dev directory doesn't have a by-uuid subdirectory.

Forcing us into using uuid was a stupid idea.

I'm sorry that I couldn't have been more help.
