Question #77355 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77355

Tom proposed the following answer:
Ok, assuming that has worked and given us a backup copy of "menu.lst"
then please try

cd /boot/grub
sudo gedit menu.lst

now scroll down to the lines

root 4dcfb85e-6b72-4551-a9a2-dd12cdec99f4

change those to

root (hd0,7)

also change the parts of the lines from

root=UUID=4dcfb85e-6b72-4551-a9a2-dd12cdec99f4 ro quiet splash

so that they say

root=/dev/sda8

for example the line

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=4dcfb85e-
6b72-4551-a9a2-dd12cdec99f4 ro quiet splash

should be

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=/dev/sda8

At least it should be that for now.  So now just click on "Save" :)  Hopefully that should allow you to boot into Ubuntu without needing the SuperGrub disk :)
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
