It would be nice to see some progress on this. This problem affects at
least 11 people here, and many people on the Ubuntu Forums.

I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 system to 10.10 via the Update Manager
and now my system is unbootable. It seems like the upgrade process
should be able to find the existing grub configuration, and update it
correctly.

This problem results in a non-bootable system, and the fix is time-
consuming, non-trivial and could corrupt existing files. The fix, as I
understand it is:

1. Download Install CD (Make sure you get the correct architecture)
2. Boot from Install CD
3. Determine partition containing /boot and the grub files
4. chroot to affected partition
5. Use `grub-installer` to overwrite grub files.
