Re: Segfault on grub update

[titantoppler@gmail.com]

Hi,

Thanks for the link. I've looked at it, but it doesn't seem to apply to me - the poster in question is running LVM, whereas mine is a straight-up ext4 partition on a single HDD (I have 2 md arrays, but those are for data storage only).

In any case, I did try a dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc, but the same segfault still came up. It was after the dpkg-reconfigure failed that I tried to manually trigger the grub-update / grub-install on my own, but those didn't work too...

Hey, Google finds something for that ugly error:

(specially comment #20, check if that helps)
