It has been the case for some time now. We use debconf to store the devices that need grub reinstalled on upgrade. You can run dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc to update/correct the list. > Regardless, this is not behavior that it's reasonable to change in an SRU. > We need to fix the grub.cfg to be compatible with lucid grub. If you upgrade to precise, you should no longer be running the precise grub, not lucid grub. The grub ABI is not stable, so whenever a new grub package is installed, the MBR/core image must also be updated or breakage will happen when it tries to use the updated modules in /boot/grub. The same rationale applies to the config file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978464 Title: Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2 failed, grub issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/978464/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
