Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Version: Kubuntu 6.06.1
If there are many partitions on disk with Linux and grub installed,
Ubiquity generates menu.lst which contains all previous boot entries and
adds entries for new one. If a few systems are installed along each
other, number of entries increases with square of number of installed
systems and menu.lst size becomes very big and prevents booting from
installed system. The result is that installations succeeds, but the
system does not even load GRUB, it shows something like "Loading grub"
and then immediately reboots, without even a chance to boot any system.
Decreasing size of menu.lst manually fixes the problem.
The expected behaviour of Ubiquity would be to check the size of
menu.lst and in case it is too big, trim it down to reasonable size, or
at least warn user that the system will not be bootable.
