grub error 18

[Chan Chung Hang Christopher]

Hello all,

What package takes care of shutting down?

I have this problem with Jaunty. When I first installed Jaunty, it 
booted up without problems. However, after an update was done, it would 
always show me a grub error 18 screen on the next attempt to boot the 
machine after a shutdown.

Booting with the LiveCD (Kubuntu btw) that was used to install Jaunty 
and then starting konsole and running grub with root privileges and 
issuing the command: 'root (hd0,0); setup(hd0)' would make it boot into 
Jaunty after rebooting from the LiveCD environment.


I remember reading something about commenting out some line that did 
something with grub that would solve this problem. Unfortunately I have 
not been able to find that url again and I wondered whether anybody 
knows where a command involving grub during shutdown might be located in 
the shutdown scripts.
