Title:
  After a clean install of Lucid AMD64 server, grub has no knowledge of
  root or boot

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Distro:  Lucid AMD64 Server Daily Build 2010-02-15
  Package: grub-common 1.98~20100128-1ubuntu3  (?)

  After a clean install of this OS from CD, the machine reboots to a
  grub>  prompt with no knowledge of root or boot information (i.e. the
  ls command produces nothing).  The only added functionality selected
  were (openssh+samba).

  I recently installed Karmic 9.10 AMD64 Server on the same machine
  using basically exactly the same steps and didn't run into any
  problems.

  The one change:  The root partition increased in size from 2TB to 3TB.

  Could the size of the / partition be a problem?
