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

[Teoman]

I have the same issue after a clean install. I am using Ubuntu 14.04
x64. It does not effect the boot process or anything, however it is
kinda annoying. Either press a key to continue or just wait for 5
seconds and it will continues itself. The hdd which I have my ubuntu on
is an SSD which split into 3 partions; file, home and swap and also the
bootloader is on the same disk.

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
