Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub
I just updated (Update Manager) a few minutes ago (~9:30pm GMT -8) and on reboot get thrown into the GRUB 2 shell with the following on the screen: GRUB loading. Welcome to GRUB! // note: inverse video <blank line> Entering rescue mode... error: the symbol 'grub_zalloc' not found grub rescue> When I type help it replys "Unknown command 'help' <CR> Try 'help for usage'. I found some info on http://grub.enbug.org/Manual#head- e045cd3fcb30ba800b68803eb5f2fb2aa63ed02c but not enough to fix anything, and the cat command doesn't work either. ls produces the following line: (hd0) (hd0,6) (hd0,5) (hd0,1) (hd1) (hd1,7) (hd1,6) (hd1,5) (hd1,1) (hd2) (hd2,4) (hd2,3) (hd2,2) (hd2,1) This is on an Asus eeepc 901 and I've been running karmic from a partition on an 8GB SD card (hit ESC at the BIOS POST and choose the SD card to get GRUB). Need to get up early for work tomorrow so won't try anything else tonight. I can boot into my jaunty partition on the SSD and provide more info tomorrow night if someone can point me to stuff that would be helpful on the SD card / karmic partition. I can also make a karmic Alpha 3 USB boot from this machine if that would help with diagnostics or recovery (don't laugh, I know it may not be possible). Let me know if more info is helpful. Thanks. ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- karmic " 'grub_zalloc' not found " after update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408699 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
