Thanks for posting this; I'll keep it in reserve. I was caught by the
same trap on a similar machine (Thinkpad Z61M) a couple of weeks ago and
was rescued by a knowledgeable poster on this list. I can now boot again
although I no longer get the option to use the Lenny OS which is also
on the disk. (Probably something to do with grub.cfg but I haven't gone
into that.)
It will be a good long while before I risk 'upgrading' grub on my other
machines.
