On the suggestion of one Ubuntu forum, I did the following. I went into root, typed grub, then find /boot/grub/stage1
It spit back
grub> root (hd0,5)
Isn’t that sda5? If so, that’s my swap partition.
No, the (hd0,x) numbering system starts with zero, so (hd0,x) refers to /dev/sda(x+1).
I was recently a victim of hardware misbehavior masquerading as grub misconfiguration. In fact, I would refer Kai to that thread (Windows install *after* Linux), since it contains a number of very valuable instructions posted by Felix Miata.
