instead of the server's):

Title:
  grub 1.99-21ubuntu3.15 will not boot on some hardware

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A production system of ours recently experienced the problem detailed
  in http://serverfault.com/questions/611423/did-grub-updating-bring-my-
  server-down but with grub-pc instead of EFI.

  Basically after upgrading to 1.99-21ubuntu3.15 one of our 12.04
  machines rebooted, and didn't survive the trip.  We struggled for a
  long time with a rescue USB key, and ultimately had to mount the
  filesystems in a chroot and downgrade to 1.99-21ubuntu3.14 (which
  solved everything).

  We've put the grub packages on hold on this system, but we're nervous
  about the ability for our 12.04 servers to survive a reboot just now.
  This has caused an extended service outage for an office full of
  people.
