I just upgraded to Lucid and everything went fine until reboot.

I got to:


"GRUB loading"

followed by:


error:the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found

followed by:


grub rescue>

At that point, everything hangs and I can't boot.

Any suggestions?

If worse comes to worse, I can do a clean install, but I would like to get this taken care of if possible. Thanks.

Here is what I got from the Script:

I do not see anything in your results.txt. You do have an extra install of grub2 to the partition. I would first try reinstalling grub.

This is a bit odd because it says:


=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in
partition #1 for /boot/grub.


But the partition #1 info shows:


File system: ext4
Boot sector type: Grub 2
Boot sector info: Grub 2 is installed in the boot sector of sda1 and
looks at sector 315583 of the same hard drive for
core.img, but core.img can not be found at this
location.
Operating System: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Boot files/dirs: /boot/grub/grub.cfg /etc/fstab /boot/grub/core.img


Sort of odd but I can see from the grub.cfg you've had possibly an external drive in use at one time? Regardless lets try the easiest thing first. From the Live Desktop:


sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev &&sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc && sudo chroot /mnt


grub-install /dev/sda

If that returns any errors at all also run:


grub-install --recheck /dev/sda

Then just exit, unmount and reboot:


exit


sudo umount /mnt/dev && sudo umount /mnt/proc && sudo umount /mnt

Hopefully that does it :)

That did it perfectly! Thanks!

For future reference, should I turn my external drive off or unmount it when I'm updating? That may have been the culprit.

Thanks again.

Kansasnoob's advice seems to have worked for me, too.

Upgrading from Karmic to Lucid resulted in the same grub_puts error. I suppose I should have installed grub to sda instead of sda2. The boot configuration script confirmed that my grub was looking on sda2, and kansasbob's steps restored my ability to boot.

Thank you so much, kansasnoob! Your clear and calming advice preempted a brewing conniption fit.

This thread is solved so not many will look at it except looking for solutions. You should start your own thread so you will get more looking at it. You should also put your results.txt in code tags. You can highlight the entry and hit the # on the right side of the edit menu above where you are editing. This puts it in a scroll box and preserves formating to make it easier to read.
It looks like you changed drives around. Ubuntu menu says Hd1,6 but install is in sdc6??
