It would be nice to see some progress on this. This problem affects at least 11 people here, and many people on the Ubuntu Forums.
I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 system to 10.10 via the Update Manager and now my system is unbootable. It seems like the upgrade process should be able to find the existing grub configuration, and update it correctly. This problem results in a non-bootable system, and the fix is time- consuming, non-trivial and could corrupt existing files. The fix, as I understand it is: 1. Download Install CD (Make sure you get the correct architecture) 2. Boot from Install CD 3. Determine partition containing /boot and the grub files 4. chroot to affected partition 5. Use `grub-installer` to overwrite grub files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609280 Title: Grub error : symbol grub_xputs not found -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
