[Bug 1069772] Re: Grub-EFI wont boot without a USB key 9 out 10 time

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Confirmed the bug in person.

Looks to me like it's not even getting to load the kernel, I tried
changing the parameters in grub to see kernel messages on the screen,
but it reacts the same way -- just getting a "Loading initial memory
disk" message from the command list in grub, and nothing else.

Title:
  Grub-EFI wont boot without a USB key 9 out 10 time

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 manualy on a dual boot with a USB key.
  Almost every time I boot my system, I need to have a USB key in a port
  so it can keep on going. It does not need to be a boot key or one with
  Ubuntu on, anything will do as long as it is in the port.

  If the key is not in,  it will freeze when right after selection menu,
  if I boot in recovery mode, I see that it stop at the second line
  (loading memory disk or something like it, need to check and
  translate)

  How can I fix this ?
