[Bug 1311247] Re: error: malformed file, press any key to continue

[AcCEsS]

grubenv attached...

loadenv.c (grub source):

          if (e1 > s2)
            {
              /* This might be actually valid, but it is unbelievable that
                 any filesystem makes such a silly allocation.  */
              return grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_FS, "malformed file");
            }

I have many Linux and other test partition
:-)

My fdisk -l output:

/dev/sda1   *          63     2103578     1051758   83  Linux

Title:
  error: malformed file, press any key to continue

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04

  Since the upgrade, when I boot up, the process stops and the normal
  grub screen is replaced after a short while by a message saying

  "error: malformed file, press any key to continue"

  Pressing a key allows booting to continue.

  Someone else who experienced this found that the problem went away
  after having re-installed grub.  I tried this but this did not resolve
  the problem for me.

  synaptic reports the grub package as 2.02~beta2-9
