I also got this error, but now it's gone. I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed on my /dev/sdb3 partition, and the GRUB2 boot loader is installed on the boot sector of the partition (not on the Master Boot Record).
The problem disappeared after I did the following (though I'm unsure if that's what made it disappear; for all I know, it could be sheer coincidence): Booted Ubuntu 14.04. Got the error, but the boot completed OK. Ran the following three commands (as root, i.e., after I issued the "sudo su -" command): grub-install --force /dev/sdb3 grub-install --force --recheck /dev/sdb3 update-grub Rebooted Ubuntu 14.04. Still got the error, but, again, the boot completed OK. Repeated the very same three commands. Rebooted Ubuntu 14.04 one more time. The error was gone. So far, the issue hasn't returned. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311247 Title: error: malformed file, press any key to continue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1311247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
