Comment 8 for bug 580408

Great to see progress on this 'bug'.

For what it's worth, this is how i managed to produce the situation in the first place; i installed Lucid (server, amd64) in a VM. Installing Grub bailed out in the installer because of VirtIO weirdness and i had to select 'do not install any bootloader'. Then i manually installed Grub on the disk from the ALT-F3-console. Finished the installation-steps on the ALT-F1-console, rebooted, and ran an update which installed a new grub.

At the moment Grub was updated i encountered the 'bug'.

HTH, Thanks for all the hard work. Wish i had time to test it thoroughly for you too.
