(hd0,1) is most likely correct (that is what I have in my grub.cfg). Here is a sample of my grub.cfg:

menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic-pae" {
        recordfail=1
        if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi
        set quiet=1
        insmod ext2
        set root=(hd0,1)
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9dc11d99-00b4-4147-90ff-dcc4327e4e88
        linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic-pae root=UUID=9dc11d99-00b4-4147-90ff-dcc4327e4e88 ro   quiet splash
        initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic-pae
}

The problem could also be that you have a different version of grub than I do. The newer version of grub (called grub 2 but is version 1.96) uses the grub.cfg and the older versions use menu.lst.

Is it possible you upgraded from Jaunty 9.04 to Karmic 9.10? If so, if you want to have the latest version of grub, run "sudo apt-get install grub2" and then "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy" to make it a permanent change. (I also recommend reading this post for more information: )

Good luck!
