Without menu.lst in question, it's impossible to investigate. If you have more info feel free to reopen.

Please attach your menu.lst.

Package: grub
Version: 1:2.02.beta2

  I have tried to dd the boot image of the Ultimate Boot CD into a hard disk partition and boot it from there by use of these commands:

set root=(hd0,18)
legacy_configfile (hd0,18)/boot/grub/menu.lst

  After showing the message that an old color name is no more supported in Grub2 for a while it finally shows the menu of the Ultimate Boot CD. However then Grub2 hangs and there is no escape except a hard reset. Not even the num-lock key works.
