I had this problem on Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit with grub-pc 1.99-12ubuntu5. The PC has a Gigabyte board with Award BIOS v 6.00PG.
The workaround suggested above worked -- I disabled FDD in BIOS: Standard CMOS Features -> Drive A: None -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568720 Title: Error scanning for fd0 on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/568720/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
