Did you install Ubuntu using the server CD or a USB key?  If the later,
I have ran against a similar issue recently where grub had been
installed on the USB key (making the key unbootable) instead of my drive.

If that's the case, the solution I found was to:
- rebuild the usb key
- boot in rescue mode
- mount the partition for / and /boot
- chroot to where you mounted /
- update-grub
- grub-install to the correct device
- reboot

Hope this helps.  If you can reproduce the issue, try to open a bug with
your installer logs.  I unfortunately only had access to the hardware
where I found he issue for a very short time, so I was not able to open
the bug in question.
