Bug Description
I have a MacPro with two hard disks: the first disk with OS X and the second with Ubuntu. I upgraded the Ubuntu installation from version 11.04 to 11.10 and the upgrade was successful, but when rebooting it put the computer into Grub Rescue.
When I installed Grub, I installed it to the Ubuntu hard disk (/dev/sdb) and the installer created grub.conf to boot from (hd1,gpt2). Whilst this seems correct, Grub sees things differently. Grub seems to need the config file setting to say (hd0,gpt2) to work correctly. Changing the grub.conf file fixed the issue and allowed the system to boot correctly.
I'm not sure whether this is a bug in Grub or the Ubuntu Installer. I can provide additional logs, if you let me know which ones you need.
