Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Urgent Help Needed: Installing Dual Boot Ubuntu Post 302189558 by era on Saturday 26th of April 2008 12:41:04 PM
Old 04-26-2008
Ubuntu 5.04 is pretty old and certainly unsupported by now (they are end-of-lifing 6.10 pretty soon). Are you sure you know what you are doing?

Are you saying you needed to edit /boot/grub/device.map, or what exactly does "mapping HD0 <-> HD1" mean?

If you drop to the Grub prompt, are you able to see your devices?
