package grub-pc 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Thanks for your report.

Could you please edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst as root:
$gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst
change the first line to (add an 'x' )
#!/bin/bash -ex

Then run
$sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure 2>&1 |tee /tmp/grub-pc.postinst.log

and attach the file /tmp/grub-pc.postinst.log to this report.

Thanks.

Here is the log

Reminder: The symptoms of the original report is simply

@Gohan: Your error is

Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information.

You probably changed something in /etc/grub.d/ ( in 05_debian_theme ?)

@Cubunt: Your problem is
Generating core.img
grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `isw_ebbebjhjjj_ubla1'
Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed.

This is likely that you're using SATA Raid.

Definitely not the same problem as the original poster.

Hi, particularly to Jean-Baptiste Lallement,

         I confirm that I am using SATA RAID.

As I mentioned in a previous post, the error no longer causes me
trouble because there has been an update to Ubuntu 9.10 and that
installed? everything properly.

              Regards and Thank you ,
                 Peter Ralph

Don't know if it helps, I just installed Ubuntu, and performed an auto update.
I don't have SATA Raid, but I'm using a quite customized partition layout.

WTF?

It's probably the same bug. I presume it's at least partly my fault -- doing the upgrade from Karmic Koala as a relative newbie (although I'm an experienced Unix programmer -- decades -- not really sysadmin).

Anyway at some point it popped up a dialog box listing all my disk partitions suggesting it might install grub sommat. I checked all the boxes and said forward. (It didn't offer any suggestions as to whether that was a good thing to do or not).

After awhile it tells me it failed and it might leave my system in a bad state -- again without giving me any useful information. So at least one of the times it did that I just blew it away, hoping it would abort and we could start over.

Such was not to be, of course.

It will be interesting to see if the system will boot when all is done.

[Expired for grub2 (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Er, no.

How launchpad is classifying me as "Hannah" I have no idea, but this went
wrong somewhere..
