The quick work around you suggested did not work. The result of that was when booting it would display several lines of an error message "failure reading sector x?x?x?x from hd1". These several lines would alternately display and disappear, seemingly as if it was stuck in a boot loop. A cnt-alt-del would get out of it, then using the SuperGrub2 CD I could get it to boot again after adding the LVM option.
I am ready to give up on this and do a reinstall (taking more detailed notes next time). Unless you want me to continue exploring something that would assist you. I probably won't find the time to do the re-install for at least a day or so, if you would like additional information. Thanks again for your assistance.

It points to ESP (EFI System Partition) but with non-existing path. One of (hd0,gpt1)/EFI/ubuntu or direct LVM reference would work. Quick workaround is to create /boot/efi/boot/grub and copy grub.cfg from /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu in there.
