Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
After installing Ubuntu 9.10 beta, windows fails to boot. On selecting windows on the grub boot menu, I get an error similar to: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: ...\system32\ntoskrnl.exe" I can boot windows fine using the "Super Grub Disk" boot CD from http://www.supergrubdisk.org/, so it seems like it's not a problem with windows. This is the automatically generated entry in grub.cfg: menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)" { insmod ntfs set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 6e2cf50d2cf4d0d7 drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} chainloader +1 } Partition info from parted: Model: ATA ST3200820AS (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 200GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 105GB 105GB primary ntfs boot 2 105GB 157GB 52.4GB primary ext4 3 157GB 159GB 2097MB primary linux-swap(v1) 4 159GB 200GB 40.7GB primary ext3 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Oct 18 20:41:27 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: grub2 (not installed) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic SourcePackage: grub2 Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686 XsessionErrors: (gnome-settings-daemon:1756): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed (gnome-settings-daemon:1756): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1871): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (nautilus:1852): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed (gnome-panel:1851): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -5 and height 24 ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- grub2 fails to boot windows correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
