A fix/workaround is to upgrade to grub 2. I have just tested this and it works.
This is not exactly user friendly at present as I had to edit menu.lst by hand after running the command suggested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Grub2Testing . Not only was there the root/uuid problem but the script fails to find a suitable command line at some point and creates lines with nonsense characters in them in menu.lst. -- grub menu does not display after cold boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
