[Bug 948823] Re: Install (auto-resize) fails to boot after installation

[Lars Noodén]

** Description changed:

  Following this test case:
  http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/204/builds/13085/testcases/1171/results
  
  The installation runs smoothly, but the machine will not boot when
  restarted.  Instead it shows the grey screen that is normal after power
- cycling the machine and then after waiting, it will show a blinking icon
- of a folder with a large question mark on it.
+ cycling the machine.
  
  It is possible to boot to the newly made partition (or the old one) by
  booting first to the installation CD and then choosing boot from first
  hard drive.  In this way the grub menu can be reached.  Running update-
  grub has no effect.
  
  Prior to adding the second (resized) partition, the machine booted fine.
  So the normal installation process is able to install what is needed to
  boot the machine, but something about the resize process fails.

  power cycling the machine.

  It is possible to boot to the newly made partition (or the old one) by

  update-grub has no effect.
