Hint: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/grub You could install the original grub instead of the grub 2, from ubuntu that is. > And, you can try installing the fedora grub-0.97-51, which means you are > overwriting the ubuntu grub 2. It should work, as it's only used for > booting, but grub 2 is also little new to me.
