I'm attempting to dual boot my Thinkpad T61 and ran into this problem. I have the following SATA drive setup:
sda1 = hidden IBM recovery partition
sda2 = Vista Ultimate
sda3 = swap
sda4 = Ubuntu 7.10
Not wanting to overwrite the Vista MBR, I installed grub to hda0,3; which should be my Ubuntu partition. I booted back into Vista and installed EasyBCD, added the Ubuntu partition to the boot loader and can successfully see both boot options when my Thinkpad reboots.
Here is my problem, when I select Ubuntu 7.10 to boot, I am immediately taken to a grub> command, never booting into Ubuntu completely. Anybody know how to fix grub so that I boot directly into Ubuntu?
(note, when installing 7.10, grub installation failed so I manually installed grub to hda0,3 using the method described here Linux - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki )
