Problem is now fixed. I actually found the solution in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/613273 It was really the problem of /run pointing to /var/run pointing to /run ...
The only thing I had to add compared to the solution described was to create /run/lock/lvm directory. Creating /run was not sufficient when trying to update-grub. My system is using LVM, thus... A big thank you to http://www.linux-azur.org/ that helped me a lot on the issue. Nevertheless I think there is a problem with the installer. It was the very first time I upgraded from an LTS to an LTS, all my other machines follow the normal cycle. I thought it would be a bit more... how to say... polished. I never had issue upgrading from one version to another on any machine except standard stuff like config file format changed etc, but having a machine stuck at early stage of boot was definitely not what I expected. So -1 to the LTS... Normally you would stay on an LTS because you care of the machine stability.Hopefully not the same story for 14.04.
