Hi. Loading my old Compaq Presario with Ubuntu 12.04 caused my Grub menu to not show up, but only after I added the 300+ waiting updates and rebooted. Ubuntu still booted, but the Grub menu was not displayed. By the wait time I am guessing that grub executed properly and was waiting for a selection - without one it just went ahead with the default. As I said, I am guessing - no evidence.
I followed the steps at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10778491&postcount=55 for a 32 bit machine. After steps 1 and 2 did not make any difference, I performed step 3 and the Grub menu now shows and is operational. I am attaching my hardwareprofile.txt as requested. And, thank you for the fix. This sort of thing is one of the reasons OSS is so much better than the pay-for-support alternatives. With those I would still be 6 months shy of just convincing them that there was a problem. ** Attachment added: "hardwareprofile.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/778059/+attachment/3250379/+files/hardwareprofile.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778059 Title: Upgrade to Natty renders computer unbootable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/778059/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
