[Bug 568720] Re: Error scanning for fd0 on boot

[Belfry]

Same thing on Precise with Grub2 1.99-21ubuntu3.4. This appears to be
due to Grub2 searching an lvm partition for unicode.pf2. Here's a
workaround for those using a separate, non-lvm /boot partition. Note: I
am not sure if this will work with other distributions or Grub2
versions.

1) sudo cp /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 /boot
2) cp /etc/grub.d/00_header ~/00_header_backup
3) gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/00_header: replace all ${GRUB_FONT_PATH} with /boot/unicode.pf2
4) sudo update-grub

Title:
  Error scanning for fd0 on boot

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Hi

  Since upgrading to lucid and installing the new grub-pc, I get an error on boot before the GRUB screen:
  error: fd0 read error.

  I don't have a floppy drive, and it's supposedly disabled in the BIOS.

  Bye,
