Greetings all, I recently updated my system and was surprised to find that on reboot that grub could not load the kernel, offing a message: file not found. After exploring the grub shell for a bit I found that the mounted boot partition was loaded into the /boot directory. Thus in the beginning of the boot arguments I removed the /boot for the full file location, and was able to manually boot my system.

===============================================================================
1) From the boot menu press "e"
2) Change:

linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/mapper/VolGrp0-root ro splash quiet quiet splash

to:

linux /vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/mapper/VolGrp0-root ro splash quiet quiet splash

3) Change:

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic

to:

initrd /initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic

=======================================================================
This allowed me to manually boot, and then to edit my configuration after Ubuntu booted.
