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

[msth67]

Here's another strange fact:I've also experimented with a Grub live cd
(Super grub 2disk) and a Grub recovery cd made with  grub-mkrescue,they
both have troubles finding the partitions on the disk.

There are three in total:
/boot partition
/root partition
/swap partition
all of them  are primary.

For some reason to detect all three takes several attempts,at first the
ls command or the "detect any grub.cfg" in the case of Super grub 2disk
only sees the root partition,then after repeated attempts the full disk
layout is recognized and the system can be booted.

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
