Ok. Just tried to boot Ubuntu again and here's the result (will post both my grub and lilo files in a little while) :
(Will only post last 3 lines as they seem to be the only ones pertinent)
[ 19.163802] VFS: Cannot open root device "808" or unknown-block (8,8)
[ 19.163859] Please append a correct "root=" boot option
[ 19.163922] kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Cannot open root device "808" or unknown-block (8,8)
I went and checked my lilo.conf and I'm 150% sure that the "root=" option is there and correct.
Ok. Here is my /etc/lilo.conf which is on my /dev/sda5 which is my clfs partition:

Ok... here is what I think is ubuntu's grub config...

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not change this entry to 'saved' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
