2011-06-22 21:55:07 Keith Ward description I'm currently experiencing an issue with installing kernel updates on natty. It seems to want to force install grub-pc -- ignoring the fact that grub-efi is installed. Looking at the dsc for the kernels at present, it seems linux-image-* recommends grub , grub-pc or lilo, but omits grub-efi which mean when a kernel upgrade happens it forces removal of it, over a recommended bootloader - despite the fact that grub-efi-* is perfectly valid, and is required for EFI booting. keith@Jarvis:~$ uname -a Linux Jarvis 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -Keith I'm currently experiencing an issue with installing kernel updates on natty.
