** Patch added: "grubenv.diff"
   
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/913336/+attachment/2662333/+files/grubenv.diff

** Description changed:

  /etc/init.d/grub-common and /etc/pm/sleep.d/10_grub-common call grub-
  editenv to clear the recordfail setting to indicate that the system
  booted or awoke successfully. They call grub-editenv, which creates the
- grubenv file if it doesn't exist. If the admin has deleted the grubenv
- file intentionally because they don't want grub writing to the
- filesystem (or because grub lacks write support for that filesystem),
- this behavior is annoying.
+ grubenv file if it doesn't exist.
+ 
+ If the admin has deleted the grubenv file intentionally because they
+ don't want grub writing to the filesystem, this behavior is annoying. If
+ the admin has deleted the file because grub does not have write support
+ for the root filesystem, then this behavior breaks booting; someone has
+ to hit a key on the console for the machine to boot.
  
  The attached patch fixes this. However, I'm not sure what is supposed to
  create /boot/grub/grubenv originally. If it's the init script, then some
  further changes will be required.
