   This looks like a Grub issue rather than a kernel issue.
   /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /boot/grub/locale.

Running postinst hook script /usr/sbin/update-grub.
Generating grub.cfg ...

Looks like running update-grub fails.

Have you removed files on your system? This could explain some of these files missing.

To fix the situation, I would suggest running 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda' (assuming the disk where grub should be installed is indeed /dev/sda), followed by 'sudo update-grub'.
