[Bug 1193190] Re: grub-efi-amd64 can not load initrd or kernel after reboot

[Steve Kieu]

Already did and reported. It hang at loading initrd. No other error
reported, it just stands there forever ... (I wait about 5 minutes)

Interesting thing is the auto complete filename is still working (press
tab) so grub can detect the file (at least it understands the
filesystem)

Title:
  grub-efi-amd64 can not load initrd or kernel after reboot

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  From the current running Ubuntu 13 if I reboot the machine - when it
  enter the boot menu prompt, hit enter and it waits there forever.

  If  set it to be more verbose I saw grub stopping at message Loading
  initrd  and hang there.

  The boot partition is ext2. I recently change it to ext3 without any
  effect.  To make it bootable again just use the DVD or any other
  Ubuntu 13 bootable media (USB works) - just boot the system in live
  (so the whole system is in RAM) / or load the real on disk system mode
  (even do not need to touch anything about the hard disk.  fsck shows
  that the boot partition in deed is clean. Reboot that and then this
  time grub can get through.

  This is 100% reproducible and work around (Just boot the live CD and
  then reboot from the live cd - )
