Public bug reported:
Today I had a MAJOR problem. Here is a more or less accurate
recollection:
I put my laptop on "suspend" again, forgetting that it doesn't work well
with Ubuntu installed on winda. This time, when I restarted the laptop,
Ubuntu started to complain that it can't find the menu file. That's
when I got slightly disoriented and rebooted the machine into winda.
Then I found a/some menu file somewhere under the Ubuntu directories and
moved it to where the boot utility was looking for it. Then I clicked on
the Ubuntu "disks" directory (just for fun) and got an error message
saying the the file is corrupted. I rebooted and found Ubuntu unable
to start. Then I rebooted to winda and ... winda started checking the
hard drive; when it finished it happily notified me that a corrupted
file was deleted -- yes it was Ubuntu disk. It would be a bad day, if
some of my files were not backed up.
Ubuntu and winda professional were all up-to-date. Winda was updated by
our IT on the 16th or 17th; no SP3 on winda though. I suspended Ubuntu
may be a week or two ago -- before the latest winda and Ubuntu updates
-- and I was able boot Ubuntu then.
