Title:
  GRUB _ (flashing underscore cursor) - failure to boot

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  I fired up my Intrepid installation today and the bootloader just
  showed me "GRUB _" as text on the screen. This is an indication that
  stage 2 failed to load I think. I haven't fiddled with GRUB, so
  somehow my Ubuntu system had hosed itself.

  I was running Mac OS prior to this, but it didn't do any updates, and
  even if it did it wouldn't hose anything other than the BIOS MBR
  (which I believe holds stage 1), and that was apparently intact.

  The repair was to boot a Live CD, run "sudo grub" and, in the grub
  shell, run "root (hdX,Y)", "setup (hdZ)" with your own values of X and
  Y and Z.
