[Bug 1311247] Re: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

[kerb]

As a hint, hoping it helps.
In my case i had the message after GRUB launching. 
I could see inconsistancies in my /home partition which is EXT3 formated but at install i unthoughfully declare EXT4.
As of parameter were showing format EXT4 and another parameter (one like EXT_TYPE) was showing EXT3.
I reinstalled selecting EXT3 for my /home and the message doesn't show up any more.

Title:
  [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
  Unknown
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04

  Since the upgrade, when I boot up, the process stops and the normal
  grub screen is replaced after a short while by a message saying

  "error: malformed file, press any key to continue"

  Pressing a key allows booting to continue.

  Someone else who experienced this found that the problem went away
  after having re-installed grub.  I tried this but this did not resolve
  the problem for me.

  synaptic reports the grub package as 2.02~beta2-9
