Comment 161 for bug 441941

Could people affected by this bug please upgrade to the grub-common and grub-pc packages from this PPA:

  https://launchpad.net/~cjwatson/+archive/ppa

... and try rebooting into Windows to see if that still makes GRUB unbootable? Hopefully it won't.

If it still breaks, then there are two possibilities:

  1) Nobody provided the information requested in comment 4 for whatever application is causing this on your system.
  2) Somebody provided this information, but the signature is more complicated than I thought.
  3) I screwed up somehow.

In all those cases, please provide the information requested in comment 4, and I'll see what I can figure out. If it does work for you, positive confirmation is good as well; if I can get confirmation that I'm improving things for a respectable number of people, then I should be able to get this into Maverick and possibly backport the change to earlier releases as well.
