Public bug reported:
When I upgrade from kernel 2.6.38-8-generic to 2.6.38-10-generic, the two
choices (normal and recovery mode) in the first menu shown by grub2 (or
grub-pc) give the following messages:
Errore: cannot read the linux header.
Errore: you need to load the kernel first.
Of course, I can load version 8, choosing the sub-menu "Previous linux
version". But this seems to be a repetitive problem, that happens now and then,
when installing new kernel versions, after an update or upgrade.
The two sections of /boot/grub/grub.cfg related to wrong and correct loading of
kernel are very similar: are reported here under, for your reference.
