Title:
  Directories are identified as files

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  After newly installing Kubuntu 11.10 to a usb-drive, i get

  "error: not a directory"
  "rescue shell>"

  The new root is on "hd0,msdos1", so if i do "ls (hd0,msdos1)/" i get a
  list of files and directories but the strange thing is, that some
  directories are shown up wrongly as files (/boot, /lib and some
  others)?

  It seems, that grub can't access it's directory /boot/grub because it
  identifies /boot as a file instead of a directory?

  I tried boot-repair, i tried update-grub from a chroot, but nothing
  worked out...
