Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
System installed from Live CD 10.04TLS disk providede on Linux Magazine. The disk had to be formated with the partions aligned with the cylinders before the installation would perform correctly on an old AMD witha small memory. Error reported as out of disk by Grab2.
All Kernals since 2.6.32-22 fail to install correctly or boot. The previously installed 2.6.32-21-generic as installed by the Live CD can be booted from the command line but the others all fail. I have failed to work out how to get it to boot any other way.
From reading the bug list this is not a new bug just another variation on the list of problems. I did not see any error messages but like many others I did not look for errors.
If I can help by follwoing instructions in the next few days please email me.
I have been successful in bypassing this problem by reinstalling 10.04 from the live CD and using the Ext3 file system. Thus I get ERROR: Out of disk but the computer proceeds to boot and updated kernels have not caused the system to stop working.
The previous installation had been with Ext4 with the partition aligned to the cylinders as this allowed the installation to proceed successfully. However I guess the problem was something to do with Ext4 and updates not being aligned correctly at a very low level.
I hope this information helps.
