Grub will not boot after upgrade to 12.04

Asked by Wesley Michael

I have a laptop with Windows 7, 32-bit version of Ubuntu 11.10 and 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 in separate partitions. Today I upgraded the 11.10 partition to 12.04. Now when the machine starts and goes into grub I cannot boot anything.

I have grub 1.99 on a bootable CD, and if I boot off of that I can enter these commands to get the 12.04 partition to boot up:

set root=(hd0,3)
linux (hd0,3)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd (hd0,3)/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic-pae
boot

How should I go about getting this working again?

I was able to get it working again by installing Boot-Repair:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install boot-repair
