severity 502333 grave
thanks

I just hit this, it rendered my system unbootable. Raising severity
accordingly.

The system is a Thinkpad T61. It has been working just fine, with no
significant recent configuration changes. The grub version was untouched
since six weeks (upgraded from -11 to -12), and since then I've
installed and removed kernels and rebooted several times. I have not
touched the grub configuration in between.

Yesterday I installed a new kernel (2.6.28), and on the next boot, Grub
started immediately rebooting after displaying the "Welcome to Grub!"
message.

Commenting out all three "search" commands in /boot/grub/grub.cfg fixed
the problem.

Cheers,

Marcus
