Title:
  12.04 beta 2 update to 3.2.0-22 destroyed grub configuration

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  
  Pangolin 12.04 beta 2 updates are mangling grub. After an update that does a update-grub rebooting results in a:

  Purple screen with a few columns of faint black lines at the top.

  Sometimes boot-repair disk works, not recently, it repairs to the same
  purple screen and faint black lines.  Attached is the boot-repair disk
  info.

  So I get my multi-partitions going again by installing Lucid Lynx in a
  spare partition. So far, never fails!

  Attached is a copy of the boot-repair info. It said it worked but I got the same purple screen with a few black lines at the top.
  With nothing running can't do an ubuntu-bug grub.

  Sure would like to know how to save grub & configuration so I could at
  least boot live and restore them.

  Super-Grub2-USB did enable me to get the partition running again,
  booting usb hybrid iso.

  Acer Aspire 5253 notebook AMD Dual-Core Processor E-350, 2 GB memory
  15.6" HD LED LCD.

  Thanks much,

  Jerry
