GRUB bootscreen is dead, among other things.

[SchizmWolf]

I'm having some problems with my system since I tried to edit the menu.list in /boot/grub. I'll paste from a post i made on the Ubuntuforums a few days ago that noone has replied to.

I'm running Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 and I tried to fix a problem with my sleep mode by adjusting the kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst this way:

Code:

/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash resume=/dev/sda



Well, needless to say it borked my boot. Now every time I startup my system it runs Grub1.5, then spits out a hell of a lot of code onto the screen, and then goes to a blue-and-white backup screen that gives me options to Resume Normal startup, fix broken packages, free up space, etc... I tried to copypaste the kernal line from the recovery mode back into the normal file, but it doesn't do anything (this is the line):
Code:

/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=2edc2cdd-0002-4290-940f-594c8576f57b ro single

It never used to do that. After grub initialized it'd just give me the kubuntu load screen and be ready to go. I want to go back to that. Please help, this is REALLY annoying me and I don't want to have to reinstall Kubuntu.

EDIT: I adjusted the kernel to read:
Code:

/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=2edc2cdd-0002-4290-940f-594c8576f57b ro quiet

Now it'll boot without having to go to the backup screen, but the Kubuntu loading screen is still dead. At this point it's mostly a cosmetic fix, but I'd like to have it back. The new problem I noticed is now whenever I send the shutdown command it'll go to blackscreen with the mouse still visible indefinitely; ie, it WON'T SHUT DOWN T.T (without hard closing, but I hate doing that). Any ideas

EDIT: Okay, I've found it WILL shutdown, but it takes upward of 10 minutes.

Thank you! I'm going to give that a try real quick, and hopefully that'll fix everything. As for the hibernate mode problem, I've yet to find a working solution, but I remain hopeful.
