Ran dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc and noticed that only /dev/sda1 was selected. Made sure /dev/sda was selected and removed /dev/sda1(/boot) since it's a partition. I think the bug is here, /dev/sda should have been automatically selected to avoid mistakes. In fact, the user should not even be presented with any of these options while upgrading.

I'll reboot now in the hope that the /var/lock/lvm error is not a problem. But it's apearance certainly is a problem as well.
