[Bug 445900] Re: Exiting out of chainloaded grub2 causes Karmic to not boot until a further reboot.

[Rolf Leggewie]

Thank you for reporting this issue.  The old grub is not really
supported any longer.  This problem only in situations where the old
grub is also involved or am I misunderstanding something here?

Title:
  Exiting out of chainloaded grub2 causes Karmic to not boot until a
  further reboot.

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  This is likely not a high-priority bug given the unusual setup, but
  I'll report it anyway.

  I decided to test out grub2 on my karmic install by chainloading into
  it from grub legacy.  This normally works fine.  What doesn't is when
  I exit out of grub2 to the top-level grub on my system.

  I have a hardy-maintained grub legacy on the MBR, which chainloads to
  the grub legacy on the karmic partition, which chainloads to grub2.
  When exiting out of grub 2, it sends me back to the MBR/Hardy grub
  legacy, and chainloading to the karmic grub legacy then hangs until a
  reboot, at which point everything works fine again.

  To be clear, the "crash" occurs on the following

  MBR/Hardy Legacy -> Karmic Partition Legacy -> Karmic Grub 2 ->
  MBR/Hardy Legacy -> Loading Karmic Partition Legacy hangs/crashes.

  Let me know if more info is needed.
