I experiment the same problem for a few, on may Dell Studio 1558 laptop. Am friday 20th of august i was working on Windows Seven When a Dell update was applied without I should agree or disagree. After reboot I got also the message : "no module name found. Aborted. Press any key to exit"
I wasn't able to get the GRUB menu to launch neither Ubuntu (10.04 +updates , amd64, setted up on dual booth with default options of the live CD) nor Seven. Using a live-USB, I succeeded to restore the grub install using sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu sudo mount /dev/sda5 # sd5 6 is the partition where is my root of Ubuntu sudo grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu /dev/sda My partitions are /dev/sda1 Dell Utility /dev/sda2 * "RECOVERY" [sudo os-prober returns : Windows 7 (loader)] /dev/sda3 OS [Windows 7 directory] /dev/sda5 Ubuntu root directory [sudo os-prober returns : Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS] /dev/sda6 swap /dev/sda7 Home directory for Ubuntu (...) Each time I'm using Windows I had tio restore grub after rebooting. Even after an hibernation. Lots of people seem having the same problem as you can read on ubuntuforums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343851) I hope to to find something better as the workaround to remove Dell utility backup or to restore grub2 each time... -- [grub2] grub fails to load again (in Lucid) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
