[Bug 1167016] [NEW] startup failure after update to installed version

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I updated Ubuntu 12.04 LTS today, with received update version
3.2.0.39.47, and then re-started as requested.

On startup, a text screen appeared as follows:

"GNU GRUB version 1.99-21 ubuntu3.9
minimum BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions

grub> _"

I was unable to clear this message.  Eventually I shut off power and
restarted.  The same message appeared and I knew of no options or
actions to get any different response.  This laptop is suddenly
worthless to me.  I can not provide any additional data to you because I
don't know how to get into the system from this state.

** Affects: grub (Ubuntu)
