Same issue here.
Xubuntu 14.04 (32 bit) clean install. 2 HDD, 2 partitions : "/" and "swap".
After grub the message: "error: malformed file, press any key to continue"
Pressing a key allows booting to continue.
Sometimes it displays and I need to hit a key, sometimes not and it boot straight.
Grub is installed on /dev/sda
