[Bug 1405096] Re: error: malformed file at boot

[Phillip Susi]

That is very strange.  The only way you get this message is for the
blocks of grubenv to be out of order, but it is only one block long so
that isn't possible.  The only thing I can think of is that you have a
different grubenv somewhere.  Can you run the boot info script and post
the results?

Title:
  error: malformed file  at boot

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am unsure if this is the bug in Grub, but it happens at boot time,
  so i'm unsure what else it can be.

  What happens:

  When i boot the computer i get the error:
    error: malformed file
    Press any key to continue...

  After i press some key the system boots.

  What i expect to happen:

  No such error should happen at the boot time.
