Grub-mkconfig generated a menu entry without an initrd line, despite
the fact that Ubuntu uses and requires an initrd. The most likely
reason for this is that when you copied your kernels from your old
/boot partition you forgot to copy the initrd images as well.  To fix
this follow http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide up to step
two, then in the chroot run "apt-get install --reinstall
linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic".
