Public bug reported:
Every time I do a system update, the alter reboot ends-up into a grub
prompt like if grub configuration was not available.
I first tought that this was only happening when upgrading the kernel
but no, it does also happend at other times as well. I don't know what
package it is related to, I presume it's a grub2 problem invoke by
another package needing to call update-grub but can't tell yet?
It started doing this around 1-2 months ago durring early snapshots of
12.10 (upgraded from 12.04 to it). This morning i noticed the upgrade
to grub2 and i was hoping this would be fixed but no, it happend again.
In order to fix the problem I use the live DVD from where I CTRL-ALT-F1 into
command prompt then:
I mount my / partition
mount -t xfs /dev/sda3 /mnt
mount everything else required for update-grub2:
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
Then update grub:
update-grub2
Note that a the last 2-3 updates (of more than 100+ packages) I manually
invoked update-grub2 right after, with no result beside getting a grub
prompt at reboot. Other cases (where I would not be invoking manual
grub update after reboot) there would be a proper grub greeter with
choices but the kernel would panic at boot time... although this kernel
had not been updated in days?!?!
