Bug Description
Just did my daily 12.04 updates and ended up with an unbootable system:-
error: no such partition.
error: no such partition.
error: no such partition.
Press any key to continue...
I had to chroot into the install to reinstall grub and the kernel to get it back to a bootable state.
See attached photos.
