If you run following command

Code:

# update-grub

Did you get

Code:

Generating grub.cfg ...
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk

Code:

# cd /boot/grub
/boot/grub# rm -rf device.map
/boot/grub# cd
# grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
Installation finished. No error reported.
# grub-install --recheck /dev/sdb
Installation finished. No error reported.
# update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...

or

Try

Code:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Does it give the same error too?

ubuntu 10.10 has been expired on 2012-04-10.
Even if you try to apt-get update, it would give following error.

They have closed the support of 10.10.
You should upgrade higher version. Ubuntu 13.04 is going to be launched.
Shift to UNITY. It is the future.
