Can you get back to the broken state, or have you now wiped it?  It
would help to have a screenshot so that I can see exactly what's going
on.

This message suggests that GRUB was improperly installed, although there
may be some other problem.  If you still have it, I'd like to know what
'sudo debconf-show grub-pc' says from your 11.10 installation.
