 After upgrading from 10.04 to 11.04, grub2 got broken.  Found the answer quickly here:  [[http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/fix-symbol-grubputs-not-found-when.html]]
+==== Grub Boot Parameters ====
+  - mount your partition to /mnt (assuming /dev/sda5 is the drive) <code>
+sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
+</code>
+  - Then mount a few more directories that are needed <code>
+sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
+sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
+sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
+</code>
+  - Also, if you have a separate Ubuntu boot partition (pretty uncommon these days, but it may be the case) <code>
+sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/boot
+</code>
+  - make your /root drive /mnt <code>
+sudo chroot /mnt
+</code>
+  - make any changes to etc/default/grub <code>
+sudo nano /etc/default/grub
+</code>
+  - run update grub (already chroot, when i tried sudo it gave me some lookup error) <code>
+update-grub
+</code>
+  - exit
+  - check that /etc/grub/grub.cfg is updated (recent file time)
+  - reboot
+  - profit
