Public bug reported:
OS: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Server
I updated the server with via ssh using sudo aptitude update && sudo
aptitude safe-upgrade
Aptitude updated the server kernel from "2.6.24 -19 server" too
"2.6.24-21 server". After the update/upgrade the server could not boot,
and the error message "Grub error 17" was given.
Please notice that I have _not_ deleted any partitions, I have not
changed menu.lst myself before this happend, there is no other OS on the
PC, and I have not changed the sata connections at all.
To fix the problem I used a livecd and wrote this in a terminal:
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1 The answer I got was: (hd3,1)
root (hd3,1)
setup (hd3) The answer I got was:
/boot/grub/menu.lst Succeeded
quit
After rebooting the PC I got an new error: Error 22 No Such partition
Every kernels I tried from the menu.lst ended up with the same error.
Here is some information about the system(from running a livecd):

/home i stored on /dev/sdd3
/dev/sdd4 is one LVM
The hard drives called /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 is one LVM.
Using the livecd I mounted / and opend /boot/grub/menu.lst, here you can see it:

To fix the problem I changed manually every (hd0,1) too (hd3,1) in
/boot/grub/menu.lst, and now the system works again.
Please ask if you want more information, and thank you for your time.
