Grub: file not found

I have a laptop with configured as follows:
	Kubuntu  11.04 on sda5,
	Kubuntu 12.04 (upgraded from 11.04) on sda 6, 
	Mageia 1.0 on sda7, and 
	Kubuntu 13.10 (clean install) on sda8.

My active Grub (original) is on sda5.

Kubuntu  11.04 on sda5 boots fine.

Kubuntu 12.04 (upgraded from 11.04) on sda 6 will boot the vmlinux-2.6.38-16-
generic  copied from 11.04 but gives me a "file not found" if I try to boot the 
vmlinuz-3.2.0-58-generic supplied by the upgrade despite the fact I can see it 
in the /boot directory.

Kubuntu 13.10 (clean install) on sda8 gives me a "file not found" if I try to 
boot its vmlinuz-3.11.0-14-generic despite the fact I can see it in the /boot 
directory.  BTW, when I first installed 13.10, it booted using Grub2.  The 
later 11.04 to 12.04 upgrade took me back to original Grub on sda5.

Is there some other reason for getting "Error 15: File not found" when the file 
is actually there?
