Title:
  Upgrade from Lucid to Precise results in broken grub configuration

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
