Comment 233 for bug 1289977

I can't believe that anyone may chalk this up to a supposedly "incorrect setup":as many others have reported,I've just done a clean install (Lubuntu Trusty) from CD to a new hard drive,the installation process finished normally and then the system could not be booted,period.

After fiddling with grub commands and managing to boot the system only to confirm that once booted there were no issues and the problem was the boot process in itself,I've resorted to a separate boot partition as advised in many threads,which only partially solves the issue:the system can now boot,yet it still spits out error messages in the process,and furthermore can't be rebooted,it has to be shut down and then restarted.

I've installed several Debian and Debian-based distros so far (including earlier Ubuntu releases) on not-standard multi-boot setups,reinstalled Grub after recovering some partition,and not once run into this issue:I can't see how reinstalling/reconfiguring Grub,resorting to command line methods or having to otherwise repair Grub may be part of a normal installation process.
