Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
Large, custom-built PC (Intel Core i7-860, P55 SATA) with 8 SATA hard
disks (5 on Intel ICH10 SATA, 3 on a Silicon Image 3124 controller).
Clean install of Ubuntu Lucid Alpha 2 from the Lucid-alpha2 amd64 cdrom.
Installed onto the 5th SATA hard disk, the last SATA port on the
motherboard SATA controller. Palimpset Disk Utility sees all disks fine,
this disk is /dev/sde. No error report from the installer.
Reboot, after BIOS stuff I get a text console and a GRUB error message:
symbol 'grub_puts' not found
grub-recover >
Googling around suggests some insmod instructions to try. They don't
work. The 'grub_puts' symbol is in the kernel.img file, and in
normal.mod, but attempts at loading these with insmod does not work, get
the error message again.
Examining the generated grub.cfg script from the LiveCD, it looks OK:
set root=(hd4,1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set eb3c6557-9941-4919-a7cc-fbbe029b72a1
That's the correct UUID for my Ubuntu installation.
There is little or no documentation for recovering from a failed GRUB2 setup.
Seems that GRUB2 cannot handle a PC with more than one hard disk.
