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

[Klaus Bielke]

I have the same issue after a clean install of Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 32-bit.
Filesystem is ext4 for / on sda2 and swap on sda6.
I installed grub into partition sda2 using blocklist.

Sometimes I get error message 'maleformed file',
sometimes 3x 'file not found',
sometimes no error message.

Boot continues successfully in all cases. I may, but don't need press
any key.

There are more independent operating systems on this disk.
A Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit with / on sda3 and own GRUB in its partition boots always without error message.

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

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
