Think I'm seeing the same problem. I ran salisbury:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a Setting up grub-pc (1.99~20101210-1ubuntu2) ...
but it just hangs there indefinitely until I ^C. Seems like it could be a critical issue, but just setting to high for now until the scope/severity is clearer. I definitely think this should be investigated prior to alpha-2, else we might have many unhappy upgraders on our hands. salisbury:/srv/Source/HWSetup$ ps aux | grep grub root 15694 0.0 0.1 5040 1588 pts/3 S 14:31 0:00 /bin/bash /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure 1.99~20101126-1ubuntu3 root 15914 0.0 0.0 1896 592 pts/3 S 14:31 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/grub-install --force --no-floppy /dev/sda root 16626 0.0 0.2 8088 4520 pts/3 D 14:31 0:00 /usr/sbin/grub-setup --force --directory=/boot/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map /dev/sda root 26994 0.0 0.5 11972 8340 pts/3 S+ 14:38 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure 1.99~20101126-1ubuntu3 root 27007 0.0 0.1 5040 1588 pts/3 S+ 14:38 0:00 /bin/bash /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure 1.99~20101126-1ubuntu3 root 27217 0.0 0.0 1896 592 pts/3 S+ 14:38 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/grub-install --force --no-floppy /dev/sda root 27910 0.1 0.2 8088 4520 pts/3 D+ 14:38 0:00 /usr/sbin/grub-setup --force --directory=/boot/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map /dev/sda ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => natty-alpha-2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/691569 Title: grub-setup hangs on upgrade (natty) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
