Public bug reported:
Did a clean install of Natty on a new 120G SSD. No dual boot, no custom
partitions -- I let the installer partition it as it wants. The system
installed and worked fine until the last grub update, at which point it
became unbootable ("invalid arch independent ELF magic" + rescue shell).
grub-install complains, "This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot
Partition; embedding won't be possible!"
After unsuccessfully trying to fix the bootloader, I reinstalled the OS
from scratch, again with no custom partitions. Again, the freshly
installed system boots fine, but after the first automatic upgrade
becomes unbootable.
Attaching the output of boot_info_script.sh.
