you are not saving file correctly.
execute this
add Ubuntu Code and press Ctrl+X, Y and Enter key.Code:su nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Success.
Got it - finally - thanks.
final solution was getting the lines right , that is to say, not having line wrap.
getting
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=5a3f01c6-01cd-4efa-98e
e-44c92a023588 ro quiet splash
all on one line was the answer, and not wrapping as shown.
Cheers
beat Regards
Bill
