Hi, As revealed lately booting to Windows can cause parts of grub overwritten by Windows programs. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550702 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/441941
I think this happened to me after a Windows XP session. I didn't react too much then, since grub booted into Linux and then grub-pc was upgraded by a new version. Missing boot menu might be due to some program overwriting the "embedding area". Now I'm reluctant to boot to Windows until this problem is solved. The problems seen are similar as the Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/601563 where no boot menu is shown at all, but Linux boots automatically. Pleas let me know if I can help in any way to find which program is overwriting grub. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
