[Bug 703009] Re: grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'.

[Hal Hackney]

Because of this bug (9 months old and counting) I'm in another situation where installing 11.04 on a HP laptop results in the infamous "blank screen", i.e. does not actually boot since there is nothing in the boot sector.
Boo.
1104 seems to work fine on my desktop system. ???
