If you're using ipchains on ubuntu...I think that is your problem as all
2.6 kernels switched to iptables and I thought all legacy support for
ipchains was dropped a long time ago.

I have some Dell Optiplex 320/321 systems that grub completely fails and
have had to use lilo to get them to boot...I'd be interested to know if
you are also talking about these systems and what you did to get grub to
work on them.

I can usually help with samba configuration.
