Chris, are you sure that the master boot record on the relevant disc points to the grub installation in question? If not, you may need to run grub-install. (Usual caveats about backing up/making sure you have some other means of booting before altering master boot record apply.)
Now there's a possible issue. How can I check this out? My main desktop system (the one running xubuntu 11.04 where this all started) has three hard disks so it could well be that the MBR has got itself somehow awry.
(Sorry if this has already been discussed - I've come to the thread late.)
No it hasn't, and at the moment I'm desperate for any help! :-)
