Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
I recently updated one of my computers to Ubuntu 9.10 and I've been trying to upgrade the bootloader to grub 2. The computer is an Acer TravelMate 240 but the hard drive died some time ago so I've been booting off a USB harddrive, because the computer's BIOS doesn't support USB boot, I'm using the PLoP Bootmanager on CD (http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html) to chainload GRUB from the USB drive. GRUB legacy has been working fine like this for months. Now when I chainload GRUB 2 from GRUB legacy I get the following error: error: out of disk Failed to boot default entries. Press any key to continue... When I press a key the message just repeats. In order to boot and access the GRUB legacy menu, I have to do a CTRL+ALT+DEL. Please tell me if you need any more information to complete this bug report.
