grub.cfg file generated by update-grub makes the system unbootable.
The system starts and keep rebooting without showing grub2 boot menu.
I got that AFTER applying a batch of fixes from ubuntu.
To make the system rebootable i got a copy of the previous grub.cfg and simply copy it at the rigt place and it works.
I did some experiments and prove that using now update-grug generates a faulty grub.cfg file.
update-grub version is /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu9)
A diff (diff -i -- command between the old grub.cfg and the faulty one shows

--------------------------------------------------------------
set root='(hd1,1)' on the good grub.cfg are now replaced by
set root='(/dev/sdc,1)'
Missing kernels on the good grub.cfg are absent because I cannot anymore use update-grub...Using it makes the system unbootable.
Here are the results of boot_info_script055.sh (shows boot parameters and files and drives...)
Booting is 10.04 from /dev/sdc1
Any idea ?

The system starts and keep rebooting without showing grub2 boot menu.
I got that AFTER applying a batch of fixes from ubuntu.
To make the system rebootable i got a copy of the previous grub.cfg and simply copy it at the rigt place and it works.
I did some experiments and prove that using now update-grug generates a faulty grub.cfg file.
update-grub version is /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu9)
A diff (diff -i -- command between the old grub.cfg and the faulty one shows

set root='(hd1,1)' on the good grub.cfg are now replaced by
set root='(/dev/sdc,1)'
Missing kernels on the good grub.cfg are absent because I cannot anymore use update-grub...Using it makes the system unbootable.
Here are the results of boot_info_script055.sh (shows boot parameters and files and drives...)
Booting is 10.04 from /dev/sdc1
Any idea ?
