Thanks, Well, yes and no. The issue is that I have an Acer laptop, and since 10.04 the boot is slow. I don't get a nice graphic splash screen, just 1980's blocky text, and seems to take a long time to start up. Searched around and found this is a common problem for some graphics chip sets, and tried a few things, some of which involved editing Grub files. So, that's how the syntax error came about. Grub did work fine though, and the boot was quicker. Then yesterday I tried the very latest round of updates, and I lost my grub boot menu entirely, just dropped to grub shell. After much fiddling, I got back into Ubuntu, completely uninstalled grub2 and then re-installed. Now everything works ok, although I can't comment on the boot times, just got it back to working and went to bed. I think I'll just try and live with a 2 min boot from now on.
