Comment 30 for bug 403408

It just happened to me. ACER Ferrari 3400 laptop, an old one running 8.04 before. I decided to install everything anew, just Ubuntu, no other OS on the hard drive. I ended up editing /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib as suggested in this thread to fix the problem.

This is a really annoying bug with karmic. And I agree, why not give this bug a high priority? In fact, I just noticed that it hasn't even been assigned to anyone yet!
