Public bug reported: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS was installed on USB-Disk labeled /dev/sdb1 with GRUB installed in partition 1. Boot flag on partition 1 was set. While booting GRUB sees this as (hd0,msdos1).
After upgrade to 14.04 via update-manager GRUB no longer boots. Error message is 'file not found' and grub-rescue prompt is shown. For repair 1) I booted Grub-Repair-Disk from CD 2) and wrote GRUB to MBR of USB-Disk. This enabled boot to upgraded system 14.04 on /dev/sdb1. 3) Then I ran dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc. Everything looks fine now, except: Now I get bug 1311247 when booting this partition which wasn't so before upgrade.
