Bug Description
Ubuntu 9.10 beta
Grub
After installing 9.10 beta, machine displays GRUB screen and allows rebooting into either Ubuntu or Windows.
Both Windows and Ubuntu will load and run BUT, once you log out of windows, grub fails with only one line of text displayed - something like Loading GRUB. Computer is unusable - can't even Control-Alt-Delete. Must turn off and reinstall ubuntu.
Usual method to restore GRUB is to run from the CD and fix grub from a terminal. This doesn't work in 9.10 with message "grub not installed"
