Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
I'm running Natty 11.04 beta in Amazon EC2. ami-5c39c435, ebs/ubuntu-
images-milestone/ubuntu-natty-11.04-beta1-amd64-server-20110329. The
objective is to do an apt-get upgrade smoothly, but the upgrade of the
grub-pc package is causing problems.
The present version is grub-pc_1.99~rc1-6ubuntu1_amd64. apt attempts to
install grub-pc_1.99~rc1-8ubuntu1_amd64 and the corresponding version of
grub-common.
1. apt-get update
2. apt-get install grub-pc grub-common
3. Choose to replace /etc/default/grub (I've looked at it, seems to have no
changes on point.)
4. Error: "The GRUB boot loader was previously installed to a disk that is no
longer present, or whose unique identifier has changed for some reason."
5. Regardless of the choices selected from here, the configuration utility
seems to get stuck in a loop.
I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that Amazon EC2
partitions are xen, which are in /dev/xvda1 instead of /dev/sda1.
I understand that grub-legacy-ec2 is installed, which may handle
bootloading.
Whatever the cause, apt-get upgrade, which may include new versions of
the installed grub-pc, should work smoothly.
