Comment 228 for bug 1289977

Update: the boot repair disk fails to boot, because of the PAE bug. Adding "forcepae" to the boot options does not help either. However, "Super Grub2 Disk" does boot, recognizes the config and can be used to boot the system. Now I have the safest laptop ever! Nobody can boot it but me!

In the previous post I thought that the found filesystems were broken, bu this is not the case. The /boot directory on the / partition is off course empty because the /boot partition was mounted there. Reading this list and different forums on the internet, ot appears that the master boot record and the grub2 install are no longer in sync when / and /boot are on different partitions.

I tried a re-install (using synaptic) of the packages "grub-pc", "grub-pc-bin", and "grub2-common". It did not solve the issue.
