I found the same thing. I was required to use "reboot -f" during the rescue CD, otherwise it complained that it wouldn't let me reboot simply using "reboot". But that "reboot -f" did NOT cause any side effects. Only the one issued from the running OS. AND, I didn't even have to do the "grub-install /dev/sda" manually. Even if apt auto-updated packages which required an automatic grub-install and then I would later to a "reboot -f", the next reboot would fail.
My colleague commented that the "Don't do that" sounds like something Microsoft Tech Support would claim :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051280 Title: reboot into grub prompt after system update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1051280/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
