[Bug 949992] [NEW] Upgrade from Lucid to Precise results in broken grub configuration

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Performed update-manager -d upgrade from lucid VM to precise. On
completion, rebooted, and rather than Precise, I'm confronted with a

grub>

prompt.

Attempted recovery by setting root and loading config, but get "unknown
command hwmatch" when it tries to load the grub.cfg.

Manually loading vmlinuz and initrd after setting root only gets me as
far as a busybox prompt.

Obviously I can't get to the point where I can run ubuntu-bug in that
VM, so my ability to get logs is currently limited.

I'm still attempting recovery of the VM, as it's blocking further Ubuntu
One upgrade testing that I'm engaged in. I'll add further information
if/as I find it.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
