But anyways, I think in your current situation, your missing vmlinuz is clearly the problem. At the top of my head, the following few methods come to mind : - Re-install Ubuntu - Download a kernel tarball (maybe 2.6.27 itself) and compile it manually. - Try putting a vmlinuz from an installed machine. If you want to go with this method, I could mail my vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic to your offlist.
