[Bug 1316068] Re: error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found

[Mathieu31]

Yes, I am sure.
To be 100% certain, I reinstalled grub 2.02~beta2-9, and tried the following commands, as typed here after the * with no extra characters:
* ls
* ls -l
* lspci
* vbeinfo
* hello
* help
* functional_test
* all_functional_test
They _ALL_ answered by "error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found."

Pressing <TAB> key on the grub command prompt gives a list of commands.
Auto-completion of the command works as well.

The BIOS boot mode is set to "LEGACY+UEFI", if that matters.

The grub config file is functional since it is used by my supergrub2
disk to boot the system.

Title:
  error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading the distribution, grub fails to boot any of the installed OSes.
  Whatever the option selected in the grub menu, I get the same error message: error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found.
  Unfortunately, hd0,msdos5 is the partition where the root of the Xubuntu system resides, and where the grub files (/boot) are.
  By the way, the grub menu is shown in text only, without the nice blue background it should show.
  Downgrading grub to version 2.00-19ubuntu2.1 make the system bootable again.
  I have updated the BIOS firmware, to make sure it does not solve the issue.
  A regression in  grub ?
