Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
I installed 10.04.1 LTS and have been getting "error: out of disk" messages on a "Cold Boot". That is one where you have to switch the PC on. It will boot, however if you push the "restart" button. Using the information in this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 I have been able to get more information about this bug . I reinstalled 10.04.1 LTS and tried this http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:write This isn't the problem because the grub.cfg no longer contains those lines . So I tried removing the "search --no-floppy" from grub-mkconfig_lib as per http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:search That didn't work. I got the following results: On a "restart" the system will boot. On a "Cold Boot" the system still gives the error: "out of disk" message I am left thinking that the code for a "restart" follows a different path than the code for a "cold boot", hence the reason a "restart" works. The other option is that the hard drive has not reached full speed by the time a read is required during a "cold boot" . Either way this is a major bug. This install was on a system using just SATA drives. I have installed 10.04.1 LTS on a system using IDE drives. Maybe that is another clue to finding out what is causing this bug. I can not move forward with 10.04.1 LTS until this bug is fixed. Not what one expects from a LTS release. I have also posted this in an old bug report #477430 ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 10.04.1 LTS Grub gives message error: out of disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/634639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
