Hmm. It seems to be triggered by having multiple disks in the host. My /dev/sda (which I don't boot off) has previously had a linux install on it, and I reused the disk by creating one big partition and formatting it for /home. I would never have wiped grub off the master boot record.
So I'd suggest it's not that my grub was misconfigured, but merely that there was an old grub on the start of the disk in the mbr. I don't think this is an unreasonable or massively unusual situation these days as people re-use disks and move them about between machines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/960092 Title: Latest update renders system unbootable "error: no such partition" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/960092/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
