I run the release upgrade from a completely up-to-date 12.04 from the Update Manager and it completed without problem. After the upgrade had finished I performed the restart and faced the
grub rescue>
prompt and got puzzled understandably.
Then I searched and found this bug and figured out that the error might be related to the boot order.
I have 2 HDDs in the box - one IDE and one SATA -, with a single Xubuntu installation. The BIOS was set to boot from the IDE HDD, the OS resides on that. In the BIOS boot order I moved the SATA HDD before the IDE HDD and after a reboot 14.04 booted like a charm.

Thought I share my experience, since I didn't see this solution here above. True, the report above is rather lengthy and I didn't read through all the posts, so I'm sorry if I duplicated.
