Public bug reported:
While not common, and probably not desirable, if /etc/fstab is not
present, update-grub-legacy-ec2 will fail. Thus, if you don't have an
/etc/fstab, an install of a kernel package will run
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/x-grub-legacy-ec2 and thus fail install.
recreate:
% sudo mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig
% sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-legacy-ec2
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Cannot determine root device. Assuming /dev/hda1
This error is probably caused by an invalid /etc/fstab
awk: fatal: cannot open file `/etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or
directory)
