I noticed the following in your VarLogDistupgradeTermlog.gz:

 Conflicts found! Please edit `/var/run/grub/menu.lst' and sort them out manually.
 The file `/var/run/grub/menu.lst.ucf-new' has a record of the failed merge of the configuration file.

Have you modified the /boot/grub/menu.lst file? What does '/var/run/grub/menu.lst' and '/var/run/grub/menu.lst.ucf-new' show (ie can you attach them?).

After doing a little more searching this looks like a duplicate of bug 269539 so I am marking it as such. If you could provide the requested information to bug 269539 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/269539/comments/10 - that would be great. Thanks.
