Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
I installed 10.04.1 LTS and have been getting "error: out of disk" messages on a "Cold Boot". That is one where you have to switch the PC on. It will boot, however if you push the "restart" button.
Using the information in this post http://
.
I reinstalled 10.04.1 LTS and tried this http://
This isn't the problem because the grub.cfg no longer contains those lines
.
So I tried removing the "search --no-floppy" from grub-mkconfig_lib as per http://
That didn't work. I got the following results:
On a "restart" the system will boot.
On a "Cold Boot" the system still gives the error: "out of disk" message
I am left thinking that the code for a "restart" follows a different path than the code for a "cold boot", hence the reason a "restart" works. The other option is that the hard drive has not reached full speed by the time a read is required during a "cold boot"
.
Either way this is a major bug.
This install was on a system using just SATA drives. I have installed 10.04.1 LTS on a system using IDE drives. Maybe that is another clue to finding out what is causing this bug.
I can not move forward with 10.04.1 LTS until this bug is fixed. Not what one expects from a LTS release.
I have also posted this in an old bug report #477430
I'm experiencing the EXACTLY same problem with my pc second time.
I'm experiencing this issue with 320GB Seagate 7200 - Sata HDD and 1TB Seagate 7200 Sata HDD. (I've tested with clean install)
But it works with my old 120GB Seagate 7200 Sata HDD on same machine.
Also bios might be causing the problems, i don't really know.
