Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 (karmic) using text-based installer into
a KVM VM. During installation I provided console args after "quiet
splash" so that a serial console would work. After installation the
hypervisor reboots the VM and reconnects me to domain console. There is
no console output.
I boot the VM using the 9.10 iso file and enter rescue mode. The kernel
args are fine in grub.cfg but upstart is not configured for a serial
console so I configure one. Create a /etc/default/grub file with serial
console definitions. Do a 'update-grub' and a 'grub-install /dev/sda'
and exit. set hd as boot dev and reboot. The serial console now works
but I'm getting this message on console:
error: invalid magic number
Failed to boot default entries.
Press any key to continue...
Something is obviously wrong with grub2. Is there any workaround to get this
system booting?
