Bug Description

Installing over 18.04.14, using the two /sda's it was using.
Boot doesn't work, get grub rescue.
The found fixes didn't work as well.
Boot again from flash-drive, re-install 20.04 over previous 20.04 (yes, 18.04 no longer present).
The drive also houses sda2, sda3, sda4 which are backups of partitions from a former harddrive + a Windows10 partition.

!UpgradeStatus! The previous Ubuntu version was the 32-bits version of 18.04, so that's why there is no upgrade log, it was indeed a fresh install to make the switch to 64-bits.
