It sounds like you're mixing grubs; grub on your knoppix disc is probably "legacy grub" while ubuntu has moved to grub2. Probably you'll want to just do a clean install of ubuntu which will install grub2 and set it up. If you want to revert back to the old grub there is a wiki page on the ubuntu site that outlines the process. Things get a lot weirder if, like me, you're multi-booting using a different bootloader that needs to chain-load grub from the linux partition's VBR. gurb2 apparently isn't intended for such use so I had to blow away the grub2 stuff and install legacy grub to the partition's superblock. Big fun...
