After upgrading to 11.10, grub doesn't load on every other boot (all the odd number boots, for example). It just sits at a purple screen and waits for me to reboot the computer to load grub again. Any idea what this is or how to fix it? I haven't had much luck Googling for it.
I checked dmesg and /var/log but found nothing suspicious. Wouldn't dmesg be from the resulting successful boot and not from the previous failed boot?
dmesgand other logs. Log files are stored in/var/log/. – Anonymous Oct 26 '11 at 6:56dmesgand/var/log(not sure which file you specifically intended there) but found nothing suspicious.
