Had a similar problem with Ubuntu 9.10 Server. After clean install from disk, the system failed to boot. Went back to disk and used Recovery Mode to check around. Found that the /boot directory was completely empty. No grub, no nothing. Searched around for a bit and found a work around that did the trick to get me back up and booted again.
mount -a update-grub grub-install /dev/sda #just installed to my master boot record Re-booted the system and things ran as normal with everything loading. Note that I run the Ubuntu server with a minimal Gnome gui installed as a desktop system and NOT as an actual server. I like how snappy it feels. I've only got some other basic packages put on--no bells and whistles, just basic programming stuff and the stuff from Willow Garage: ros.org. I'm not sure if this makes any difference but I thought I would add it. I still don't what caused this but it is nice to have a work-around.
