Details:
Ubuntu distro moved to Grub2 in their 9.10 release, and in the alpha versions
of 10.04.
A computer is first loaded with Windows 2000 at the front of the drive, and
free space to later install Linux is left at the back of the drive.
Windows 2000 installs and boots / works properly.
After this, Ubuntu Linux with Grub2 is added.
Trying to reboot into the Windows 2000 Grub2 menu choice hangs shortly after
the OS starts booting.
Doing a safe-mode boot shows that the boot process hangs at Mup.sys file.
I first opened a bug report in the Ubuntu bug tracker, here:
"Installing Lucid Alpha 2 dual-boot, Windows 2000 SP4 NTFS partition no
longer boots, hang at mup.sys"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/508988
I just now thought to escalate the bug to this site as well.
Currently Ubuntu 9.10 has grub2 version 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4.1
and Ubuntu Lucid alpha has grub2 version 1.98~20100128-1ubuntu3
Both versions are erroring in the same exact way.
Attached is a screen capture of Windows booting in normal mode, and in safe
mode showing booting stopping at mup.sys file.
Please let me know how I may assist in resolving this problem. Thanks!
