Bug Description
Hi, i am trying Natty in it's latest, Alpha 3 version, it came with 2.6.38-5 kernel which gives me an error ["Sparse file not allowed - Press any key to continue..."] before grub loads, but it was easy to press the key and the ubuntu was continuing to load. Annoying but OK. BUT, after update to 2.6.38-6, three error messages appears instead of one ["Sparse file not allowed", "Couldn't find the chunk descriptor", "You need to load the kernel first - Press any key to continue"] And when I press the key, it brings me back to GRUB in a loop. It is huge problem I think which makes the ubuntu unbootable, and so it deserves some investigation.
