Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
When I boot from a disk with the GRUB2 bootblock (I have four, two still have the MBT install-mbr provides), I get a "GRUB loading", the the screen clears. During what is probably the GRUB timeout I get nothing but a blinking cursor. No reaction to ESC, SHIFT, enter, etc. The after (probably) the timeout period I get a white Ubuntu logo on black and the machine boots the default kernel. This is quite useless if there is any problem that requires interaction with GRUB. :-( Some information that may be relevant to this problem (or not...) - USB keyboard and mouse behind a KVM switch - ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO with dual screens (one is on an IP KVM Switch with PS/2 keyboiard/mouse emulation) - no output on the secondary screen - upgrade from GRUB 1 not completed, I blindly let GRUB2 install it's bootblock when apt-get prompted me. When it looked like GRUB2 was hanging, I booted from a GRML CD and removed grub-pc and reinstalled grub. Then I did an apt-get install grub2 again. This time I let it install its boot block on only half the disks.
