I have solved the problem, see below.

I ran boot-repair and told it to replace grub, this did not break
anything but it did not help either.

Then I found this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1512259.html

and followed these instructions:

These commands will completely uninstall and reinstall GRUB2.
Do this while booted into Lucid:

Code:
sudo mv /boot/grub /boot/grub_OLD
Code:
sudo mkdir /boot/grub
Code:
sudo apt-get --purge remove grub2
Code:
sudo apt-get --purge remove grub-pc
Code:
sudo apt-get --purge remove grub-common
Code:
sudo apt-get install grub-pc
Code:
sudo update-grub
Code:
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
Then reboot.

It worked.  Problem solved!
