Besides the proposed patch, it's still possible to specify the root device via UUID. In my case, the postinstall script only wrote "root $UUID" where my original menu.lst said "uuid $UUID", so in the command-line editor I changed this: root 34717cad-31f4-491a-bcc3-2df67a04bbda kernel /boot/grub/core.img into uuid 34717cad-31f4-491a-bcc3-2df67a04bbda kernel /boot/grub/core.img
Then I just hit 'b', and chainloaded into grub 1.96. -- Updating from grub -> grub-pc does not properly write out a transition menu.lst https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354176 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
