No, it's some other problem, such as wrong disk / partition or the 
suggestion that Grub needs a reinstall on the target partition.  If the 
target partition won't boot directly either, reinstall Grub there.  
Otherwise, use Grub's command-line and autocompletion to look for the 
chainload disk interactively; see `info grub`.
