A SIMPLER "SOLUTION":

Enter at terminal:
(1) sudo update-grub
(2) sudo cp -r /boot /host
(3) nano /host/boot/grub/grub.cfg
(and change the line initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-16-generic to initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-16-generic [adapt to your case (h0,1) should be (hd0,2) in many cases, is the drive and partition where the ubuntu/disks/root.disk is]
(4) Ctrl X then Y
(5) Restart and at the grub prompt configfile (hd0,1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg (adapt (hd...)!)

And surprise! Booting and kernel -16 working. I made some testes and all the problems come from grub (?) not been able to read properly from root.disk!
