[Bug 978464] Re: Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2 failed, grub issue

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Ok.

For the record during Lucid -> Precise upgrade there are warnings shown
recommending to re-install grub into MBR & it offers to select which
drives/partitions to auto-install grub onto from now on. User may not
know where grub is currently installed. It may be better to pre-select
drives/partitions which currently have grub installed in that debconf
question.

But this is besides the point. The two branches proposed resolve the
issue. I will request merge proposals into correct branches now.

Bug description:
  I upgraded a 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2.

  After the compulsory reboot, I ended up stuck on a GRUB shell.

  GRUB didn't get properly updated

  Screen shot is attached.

  I know how to pass that problem manually by upgrading grub
  configuration by hand using a LiveCD.. But obviously, for your lambda
  users it's going to be a massive blocker.
