    I just finished a quad boot and when I try to load Ubuntu I get this message
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7generic root=UUID=666e7f64-55a0-439d-91e5-dc83309cc326 ro quiet splash

    What do you mean by "I just finished a quad boot"?
    Usually the error message you posted means that the kernel line is wrong and or the kernel is actually missing. Did you try to compile your own kernel or did you modify GRUB?
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    Check for grub stage1

    When It throws you back to the list of choices,
    Press "c" It will bring you to a Grub prompt.

    grub>
    If you have it separate '/boot'
    > find /grub/stage1
    If you dont have it separate
    > find /boot/grub/stage1
    One of these commands will give you output like this
    root (hd0,0)
    (0,0 Numbers may be different)

    Now press Esc.

    Back to the selection menu
    Select the first boot option & press "e"

    Again press "e" on the root option
    Change the hd(x,y) to out put you get in those commands

    Hit Enter.
    Then press "b"

    Then make permanent change in /boot/grub/menu.lst
    # sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
    Never make any misteaks.

    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7generic root=UUID=666e7f64-55a0-439d-91e5-dc83309cc326 ro quiet splash
    Try replacing UUID with actual root partition of Ubuntu.
    Code:
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7generic root=/dev/sdxy ro quiet splash
    You can edit kernel Line in GRUB Menu easily. Just highlight Ubuntu title, press e, select kernel line and press e again. Edit line, hit Enter key and press b.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
