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

[dino99]

I was still get 'malformed file' on each cold boot.
And i got the idea to check, with gparted, how was set the boot flag as the system boot on sda:

- boot flag was set on sdb : with the latest grub2 i am getting the
error 'malformed file'. This was not an issue with the previous grub
2.02~beta2-8

- changing the boot flag to the sda hdd which is the bios booting on:
and now the error is gone.

On that system cgroup-lite cant be blamed as it has never been
installed. So its a grub2 regression as that error, with the same boot
flag on sdb, was not seen before the latest grub2 revision.

Title:
  [Grubenv] 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
