Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic

At first Grub would not load my windows partition. I did everything I could find in various forum posts. I ended up flopping the map parameters then went for help on the Ubuntu forums. The help put me back to square one but it worked....for that day. Then the next day it only worked once. Here is the forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1161193

Grub only loads my windows partition sporadically.

I figured out the bug... I must load Ubuntu first then I can restart then load my windows partition. From there I can restart all I want (from windows or Ubuntu) and the windows partition will load.

But when I fully shut down my system I can't start up and go directly to my windows partition.

Please fix this bug!

I've just discovered it's even odder then that. The work around I listed only 'works' when my printer is on. I have a cannon mp390.

This is too too odd....

Last piece of the puzzle... My printer has a 1GB sd card plugged into it. When I remove the card The work around does not work.

Side note: It acts as a usb drive. I have never installed Ubuntu live on it or any other OS for that matter.

This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the grub package as this appears to be failing before linux starts.

affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) → grub (Ubuntu)
