Grub and Lucid Lynx

Category: Uncategorized / Tags: no tag / Add Comment

Just upgraded my Karmic install to Lucid. I’m fairly new to Ubuntu (long time Gentoo user), and amazingly ran into a bit of a headache (I thought the point of Ubuntu was headache-free Linux).

Anyway, if you get the following error on reboot after the upgrade:

Symbol "grub_puts_' not found

You can fix it by booting a livecd, getting to a terminal, and doing the following:

> sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt # sda1 being the partition /boot resides on
> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt --recheck /dev/sda

Reboot and it should be fixed.
