Solved!!! The default /etc/default/grub had #GRUB_TERMINAL=console #GRUB_GFXMODE=640X480
As I understand since console mode is disabled grub runs in graphical menu mode, whose default resolution is specified by key GRUB_GFXMODE, but this key is commented out too, so GRUB has no predefined resolution to work at. Apparently in my case, it picked out an inappropriate resolution, hence the "out of range" error. All I had to do was uncomment GRUB_GFXMODE=<something sensible, run vbeinfo> 1024x768 and the pretty menu is back. If we want GRUB graphical as the default bootmanager for Natty, perhaps we should uncomment this by default, because atleast on my hardware, GRUB doesn't figure out sensible defaults by itself. Perhaps set it to some safe value such as 640x480 which all BIOSes support? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/768716 Title: error: symbol not found: 'grub_divmod64_full' -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
