Additional comment to post #35
/etc/default/grub have 'GRUB_DEFAULT=0'
so its like setting ubuntu as default i suppose (or that fonction is buggy)

the required setting; or it is a borked grubenv file that is pushing th
Thanks coolinger for the finding.
Glancing at my Utopic /boot/grub/grubenv, i see it writen on each boot.
The latest is like:

Found a fix for me.
I narrowed the 'malformed file' error down to grub loading the grubenv file.
I experimented a bit, deleting did not help, but setting a default entry seems

Testing feedback
On that system, i run several different i386 installations, and get that
issue ONLY with some of them. Booting is always made by the SAME grub
(2.02~beta2-10). So that let me thinking that grub might not be the
package to blame.
a) installations having that issue: Trusty & Utopi
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.

I found a solution here

Same issue here.
Xubuntu 14.04 (32 bit) clean install. 2 HDD, 2 partitions : "/" and
"swap".
After grub the message: "error: malformed file, press any key to
continue"
Pressing a key allows booting to continue.
Sometimes it displays and I need to hit a key, sometimes not and it boot
straight.
Yesterday I made 14.04 installation on another computer. (The computer has four
HDD)
The error message is the same.
fdisk -l output:

/dev/sda343070265 1943463374
So, this appears to be caused by a well-intentioned sanity check in Grub
that sees an error where there's none when checking grubenv files
spanning multiple "blocks".
In checking that blocks don't overlap, the code has an if-statement that
appears to be accidentally negated ("if (s2 > s1)", should

Looks like the error message does still appear every now and then.
Must have something to do with the '/boot/grub/grubenv' file, which gets
recreated upon each boot.
The code snippet posted by "AcCEsS" above (cf. comment #7) must be
responsible for the error, though I have no idea what it is tryi
I had the same issue on an upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04.
When I did an 'sudo update-grub' I got the following message:
Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.
So, in my /etc/default/grub I commented out the line:
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEO
After update one of the following files a pop-up window showed up
suggesting a reboot then I got the error at startup:
