well Ive wasted a lot of time now trying to find a solution - reinstalled grub2 several times by all the different methods - tried the previous version before the update - ran memtest on memory and mprime/prime95 torture tests (which Ive found will detect any hardware problems if memtest doesnt) - run hard disk checking software - upgraded / reflashed bios - im pretty sure my hardware is fine - not having any problems with any other software - and each time I almost think its fixed and after about the 5th boot - fails with 'free magic is broken' - sometimes just reboots while loading grub - or comes up with misaligned pointer - and just seems to be random and get worse over time - ie the number of reboots required to get to the grub menu succesfully. honestly Ive finally given up and reverted to grub1 and now having no problems. grub2 - no thanks - a terrible piece of software - shouldnt have been released with a full release of ubuntu - is going to put a lot of people off it id imagine.
