Hi guys!

just wanted to mention that I had the same issues with hardy heron
(8.04) on my dual boot system. I had previously installed 7.10 without a
hitch on my computer, and I was able to start ubuntu and windows xp
without any fuss with grub. When 8.04 came out(final release), I decided
to reformat the 7.10 partition and install fresh...then came the issues
mentionned above.

1) installed from the live 8.04 cd - for ix86
2) from the partition editor, chose manual install and chose my old 7.10 
partition to be reformated and reisntalled as / (root)
3) left the grub re-install on mbr\
4) at reboot, error 22 shows up? can't boot from windows either "cannot execute"

to fix this, I had to manually edit the grub at startup by changing the
values (hd0,0) or (hd0,1) or (hd0,2 ) etc to finally be able to find the
one that made linux boot up. Once I found it, had to go in the
/boot/menu.lst to change it to the right values. I also noticed that in
that same list, some mappers were present for the windows xp entry. I
removed them and gave it its normal (hd0,0).

after this, all worked fine but wasted a full day at it. Never happened
with 7.10, which automatically figured out the right boot option for
both windows and ubuntu.

Thought this could help someone.
