boot problem after editing grub

Postby TheConsaw » Sat Jul 11, 2009 22:24

so i finally managed to partition my old laptop,
I'm triple booting now with win 7, ubuntu 9.04 and my main os sabayon 4.2
all of them were working sweet
but i noticed when grub was loading it was selecting sabayon too fast for me, 3 seconds i think, i wanted to change this, easy so after a quick google i edited the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and changed the timeout to 25 seconds
reboot to test, went into ubuntu and it failed to load ? it defiantly loaded before i went at grub,

i got this screen

i can boot up generic ubuntu, but what happened how can i fix

Is incorrect just delete or comment out

Also check your other Ubuntu entries, make sure they match what is in your Ubuntu/boot/grub/menu.lst
Desktop ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus, AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 5200, 4 Gb RAM, GeForce 9500 1GB
Notebook HP CQ61-311AX, AMD CPU M320, 4 Gb RAM, Radeon HD 4300 512 MB
Wireless AR9285, Audio ATI SBx00 (IDT 92hd75B2x5)
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!
