Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub
I had Grub working nicely: Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 on hd0 (a SATA drive), and WinXp on hd1 (an IDE drive). Then one day the boot was broken, and Ubuntu could not be accssed, although Windows could. Manual edit of the Grub menu from within the Grub shows that hd0 had been altered to hd1. I edited that value in- line, then booted into Ubnutu and edited menu.lst, which had indeed been mysteriously edited. Indeed, the display string for Ubuntu had also been alterd. I suspect that an auto-update did this. If so, that is very serious, as it rendered Ubuntu unbootable. The fixed file is attached -- the broken file simply had hd1 for Linux where it should have had hd0.
