Details:

Operating System: Ubuntu 13.10 (Development Release) x64
CPU Architecture: amd64
File System: Btrfs

After selecting Ubuntu in the Grub boot menu, a screen pops up saying "error:
sparse file not allowed. Press any key to continue..." Afterwards, the
operating system seems to perform normally.

This error seems to be exclusive to the Btrfs file system, as it rarely (if at
all) happens with Ext4.

There is also an Ubuntu Forum thread discussing this bug.

NOTE: In the release option I selected "Other" because I cannot remember which
version of Grub Ubuntu 13.10 uses.
