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

[yacine chaouche]

Same here with Linux Mint 17 Qiana. Upgraded the distro, upgrade the
kernel to 4.X. Boom ! no more booting. Same repeating errors of
(hd0,msdos5) not found for any command I type on the grub command line
at boot time. I don't know how to reinstall the windows MBR yet. A grub-
install from a rescue CD didn't resolve the problem.

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

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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 ?
