I'm happy to help out. Seeing as I installed 7.10 clean from the final release, I can no longer reproduce the specific error described in the bug report above because I don't have a copy of kernel 2.6.17-10-generic. What I ended up doing is installing and removing the server kernel from the gutsy repositories. The output from this is as follows:

The same command (/sbin/update-grub) is being run here as in the big report, but on this version, there are no errors. Also, if I run 'sudo /sbin/update-grub' no errors are returned there, either. I can't speak for people upgrading from Edgy to Gutsy, but this problem does not appear to exist on newly installed Gutsy systems. One other thing to consider is that the machine that I am on now is a different laptop from the one that experienced this error- I'm attaching the requested logs anyway, but that is something that you should keep in mind. (Unfortunately, I no longer have access to the other laptop, or I'd test it on that one as well.) I just want to thank you and the entire bug team for the excellent job that everyone has doing, keep up the good work! ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10254321/dmesg.log -- [feisty] Non-fatal grub error on kernel removal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92996 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
