Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
After a seemingly-routine "apt-get update" on an Ubuntu 10.10 server, the
machine hangs on boot.
It is sitting at the grub2 prompt, waiting in vain for someone to come along
and press <enter>.
I have tried two workarounds:
---------------------------------------------
Edit /etc/grub.d/00_header to remove the check for recordfail in:
make_timeout ()
{
echo "set timeout=1"
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In /etc/default/grub set
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=2
---------------------------------
Then "sudo update-grub"
Now I'm pretty dang stuck. There is plenty of forum activity on this
issue, but no true solutions.
