Boot failed after kernel upgrade to 4.4.0-51.72

[Alexey Balmashnov]

After kernel upgrade system could not detect boot device anymore.

Right after BIOS the following was prompted:
Reboot and select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in Selected Boot device and press a key

Problem was resolved (thanks to Eric^^ support at #ubuntu irc) by reinstall of grub.

Before grub reinstall:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo efibootmgr -v

After grub reinstall:

Are you no longer having issues booting 4.4.0-51.72 after re-installing grub?

[Alexey Balmashnov (a.balmashnov)]
