dual boot kubuntu/ubuntu question (fixed)

[bootdoc]

I just got a new laptop from linuxcertified with ubuntu preinstalled. So far everything works great. I had them partition the hd so that I could install kubuntu along side using the same partition for /home. The install went pretty well except at the end everything froze up. so I did a manual shutdown and restart. Kubuntu booted fine. However there is no sign of the ubuntu kernels. How do I edit the grub menu to show these kernels so I can boot ubuntu?
I believe the folks at linuxcertified made a separate partition for /boot. I tried copying the menu.lst from that partition to the /boot/grub/menu.lst in the kubuntu partition with no luck. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

p.s.
One other problem. The wireless card worked fine right after the install of kubuntu. but after running automatix and rebooting it failed. I had to install kwifimanager in order to connect via wirless. Why would that be??

This might help. Read, also, the posts below the first post. One is about using a separate GRUB (boot) partition.
I think everything's there to get you through this.

"I tried copying the menu.lst from that partition to the /boot/grub/menu.lst in the kubuntu partition with no luck."

One thing to double check -- make sure you use sudo to do any permanent edits to menu.lst, then File - Save and File - Quit.

I got it. I went back to the /boot/grub/menu.lst for the ubuntu side and compared it side by side with the one on the kubuntu side. I must have copied the wrong grub menu earlier. Got it right this time and now I have both options.
