Comment 36 for bug 477430

Every version of Ubuntu that uses grub2 gives me an "out of disk" error on first boot after a clean install. Whenever a new version comes out I try installing it on a logical partition (side by side with WinXP), and it fails to boot.

Despite many tries, couldn't come up with a solution, and couldn't boot from the grub rescue prompt either. I've the latest bios version that available for this 5yr old computer.

Please take this issue seriously. It's stayed unfixed for many Ubuntu versions, I wonder how many people have walked away from Ubuntu because they couldn't even install it.
