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

[Steve Langasek]

It's very strange that all of these reports are in VMs.  Is there some
common VMware support package that's involved here?

Has anyone reproduced this problem with the final release of 12.04 using
update-manager (do-release-upgrade)?

Title:
  Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2 failed, grub issue

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
