not booting with grub2

[Kirkx]

In case it helps, I boot my Linux Lite v2.0 from Grub4Dos w/o any problems. I guess this way you boot the kernel directly, bypassing the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Here is my menu.lst from Grub4Dos:

## Grub4Dos Boot Menu

color white/blue blue/yellow red/yellow red/yellow
# timeout 30
# default 0

# title Windows XP
# chainloader (hd0,0)/ntldr

title Linux Lite (core.img)
kernel (hd0,6)/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img

title Linux Lite (vmlinuz)
root (hd0,6)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=b5c7940e-453b-4eed-8d87-bb992069026c ro  splash quiet $vt_handoff
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=b5c7940e-453b-4eed-8d87-bb992069026c ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic

title Reboot
reboot

title Halt
halt

Partition (hd0,6) in Grub4Dos translates to /dev/sda7 in LL.

I didn't want to have my original MBR overwritten by Grub2 so I installed it at the root partition of LL. When you look at my menu.lst you can see that I can boot to LL using either core.img or vmlinuz. I also got rid of the boot splash screen by removing the parameter "splash quiet $vt_handoff".
