I'd like to point out that this also happens to me on Feisty on an ext3 root partition, since I deleted and re-added the file /boot/grub/default on a large partition. I'm not qualified when it comes to file systems, but maybe this is related to the fact that in the original setup, the file was contained within a BIOS-translatable address space, and I re- created it somewhere outside this address space.
To give proof, I'd have to move the existing file somewhere to the beginning of the file system, but I fail to see how. -- Regression: grub - Error 18 when using savedefault (feisty/edgy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/79578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
