[mythtv-users] MythBuntu 9.04 installation only boots to "grub>"???

I did a test install to a 15GB disk with these partitions:
/boot 98M /dev/sdb1 (Primary)
/ 11,852M /dev/sdb5 (Logical)
swap 2,048M /dev/sdb6 (Logical)
/var 1,019M /dev/sdb7 (Logical)
and I could boot it up and work with it.
Now I have built a system on a 40GB disk with these partitions on an
otherwise unchange system:
/boot 98M /dev/sdb1 (Primary)
/ 35,821M /dev/sdb5 (Logical)
swap 2,048M /dev/sdb6 (Logical)
/var 2,048M /dev/sdb7 (Logical)
and this time, it will only boot to a "grub>" prompt.
I have mounted /dev/sdb1 from the live MythBuntu 9.04 cd environment
and it looks okay to me...
I haven't a clue what makes this second system disk not boot.
(FWIW, this is a PATA disk and this system likes to list the SATA disk
first, as /dev/sda. The SATA disk is where /video/recordings
resides.)
Am I dealing with a partition size limitation of some kind? If so,
how do I partition this up to get a usable system without wasting disk
space?
Any help at all would be welcome.
Craig.
