Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.00-14
Severity: critical
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
upgraded all my packages after the freeze and grub doesn't boot anymore.
the error message is "error: file not found" and then it drops into the grub rescue console.
i fixed it by chrooting via a live cd and running "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc"
(telling it to install to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb). works fine since then.
my hard drives are setup like this:
/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 -> 500 MB /boot partition with software RAID1
/dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb5 -> root partition with software RAID1
further / has luks encryption and after that LVM with one PV for / (all setup with the debian installer)
let me know if you need more info. here's what i found from the log files before upgrading grub:
