Comment 3 for bug 481689

Romeo,

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.

The problem here is that you have grub1 installed, when the version of grub installed with Ubuntu 9.10 is grub2. There were a number of bugs in this area that were resolved between beta and final release; can you tell us what packages are removed if you try to run 'sudo apt-get install grub-pc'?
