[Bug 1377826] Re: Errors while post-processing grub installation

[T. K.]

@Louis:
You wrote "This is a side effect of the upgrade" so this was my interpretation - please accept my apologies.

@Phillip: Thank you for clarifying this. I'm currently about to set up a
new (more powerful) server, this time I decided to use software RAID1,
which is supported much better.

Title:
  Errors while post-processing grub installation

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Some days ago I did a dist-upgrade on my Ubuntu 12.04 system (HP
  Microserver N54L, configured as RAID 1).  At the end of the upgrade
  process a new grub.cfg is build with the following errors displayed:

  ...

  Now I fear, I'm left with a productive and critical system that cannot
  reboot anymore!
