Public bug reported:
After upgrading the distribution, grub fails to boot any of the installed OSes.
Whatever the option selected in the grub menu, I get the same error message:
error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found.
Unfortunately, hd0,msdos5 is the partition where the root of the Xubuntu system
resides, and where the grub files (/boot) are.
By the way, the grub menu is shown in text only, without the nice blue
background it should show.
Downgrading grub to version 2.00-19ubuntu2.1 make the system bootable again.
I have updated the BIOS firmware, to make sure it does not solve the issue.
A regression in grub ?
