There is no menu.lst under /boot/grub and 12.04 server can't boot

The newly re-installed 12.04.3 server has the same problem as it was before. The problem is that the server can not boot up by itself. Sometime it goes into blank and never come out. Sometime it shows boot menu and hung after Attached SCSI drive. In this case, we just need to type 'exit' to get to the login prompt. The problem is similar to the post below:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/109500/boot-issues-long-delay-then-gave-up-waiting-for-root-device

We found that under /boot/grub, there is no menu.lst. Is it normal to have no menu.lst under /boot/grub? If this is a problem, how to fix it? Thanks.
