Install (auto-resize) fails to boot after installation

[Lars Noodén]

Following this test case:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/204/builds/13085/testcases/1171/results

The installation runs smoothly, but the machine will not boot when restarted. Instead it shows the grey screen that is normal after power cycling the machine.

It is possible to boot to the newly made partition (or the old one) by booting first to the installation CD and then choosing boot from first hard drive. In this way the grub menu can be reached. Running update-grub has no effect.

Prior to adding the second (resized) partition, the machine booted fine. So the normal installation process is able to install what is needed to boot the machine, but something about the resize process fails.

Here is a screen shot of it going into BuysBox instead of the installed Ubuntu. It's only happening on the resize, not on the initial installation.
