Title:
  System refuses to boot at the first attempt

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  After upgrading Maverick to Natty my system refuses to boot at the
  first attempt (GRUB v.1.99rc1). On the GRUB menu i'm trying to start
  ubuntu and this causes errors:

  error: file not found
  error: you need to load the kernel first
  push any key to proceed

  Then grub menu shows up again. After some attempts to start the error
  messages don't appear and system boots up normally. That happens every
  time. I've tried to install previous version of GRUB (v. 1.98) which
  worked fine in Maverick, all the same.

  fdisk -l output:
  /dev/sda1   *           1       10199    81922016+   7  HPFS/NTFS
