Title:
  Kubuntu grub hosed while trying to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  I have a Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop. I went to upgrade from 9.04 to
  9.10 and I was on wireless. It took about 7 hours from a site from
  MIchigan I believe.  The install asked 2 questions ... 1 If I wanted
  to keep 2 setting of which I do not remember the first but the second
  was for cups  2. I answered yes for the first and no for the second.
  I initiated the "reboot" and that was the last I saw of my working
  laptop.  I tried the kubuntu irc and google and narrowed the issue
  down to grub.  It was suggested I try several things of which I tried
  testdisk and found double listings of partitions and they were out of
  order  After running testdisk, I also noted that the asterisk was not
  listed at the primary partition.  It was then suggested that I try
  supergrub.  After I downloaded and ran this program, I started to find
  other google listings of issues with grub and grub2 that other had.  I
  tried various things, even knoppix disk, to resolve the issue.  I am
  using the Knoppix disk to report this bug on the laptop in question.
  My computer first would start to boot and hang at "starting up ..."
  then later I got into a default shell but was not aware of what to do.
  I then resolve somethings then got error 17 then error 15.  I edited
  my root (hd0,1) to (hd0,0) on both the new version and previous
  install version which both reference ubuntu 9.10 in the listing and it
  started to work but would not complete.  I found information on the
  Ubuntu site in reference to grub2.  I burned a Kubuntu 9.10 disk and
  9.04 but both would hang after choosing english and the install
  option. I tested the disk in a PC and it started installing just fine.
  I still have not found the answer as to how to correct this issue and
  I am sure others will have the same problem if the grub issue is not
  corrected.  Please help me to resolve this issue.  Please.
