I just did a fresh install of natty (amd64). Grub works normally EXCEPT when I try to manually edit the boot settings - then after pressing the boot key it dies with "alloc magic is broken at 0x3fdb7230" most of the time (not always, sometimes it works).
I did TWO full test runs of memtest86+ and the memory of the machine is OK. I really believe that this is a grub bug now that two people have reported it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498882 Title: grub2 crashes randomly 'free magic is broken' with multiple disks -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
