Doing sudo grub-install /dev/sda made the problem go away for me. Since I don't really care where grub is installed, I don't care that this presumably changes that, I'm just glad my system boots now. (Now if only the keyboard worked every time... but that's a different Karmic bug.) -- grub2 u

Right, let me try to be crystal clear. You *do not* need to install GRUB to the MBR to avoid this bug. You *do* need to install a newer version of GRUB to wherever you originally put GRUB. This bug occurs when people have an old GRUB image *somewhere* that they're using to boot, but never update
