I made a clean install on my Sony Vaio laptop, of Ubuntu 11.10 and when the installation was ready, it prompted to remove the USB I was installing the distro from, and press enter to reboot. After this reboot the first thing I got was the following error:

error: couldn't read file
error: you need to load the kernel first

Press any key to continue..

After that it throws me back to the Grub select screen:

Ubuntu, with linux 3.0.0-14-generic-pae
recovery mode
previous Linux versions (none since I made a clean install)
memory test

If I choose the first option it shows only a black screen and never loads anything. If I reboot the same thing happens.

Could I repair this using boot-repair? Is there any other way?

Note: I know nothing about Linux code so I am a total noob on this one

Update: boot-repair did not help

Try to check your disk drive, it means that GRUB really can't read the file /boot/vmlinuz.... You can check the file by trying to copy it or the disk with badblocks command as suggested on http://www.linux.org.ru/forum/linux-hardware/7228767 (in Russian).
