Something todo with grub not upgrading to grub2? No instructions on how to prevent this from happening, besides working with the recovery tools from the live cd (which is no option in my case), the only solution is to restore 12.04 backup. Maybe next year there will be a stable ubuntu 14.04 precise release, or at least some hints in how to prevent grub from breaking….

5 january 2015 , 14.04 still breaks grub, i cannot yet find any clues how to prevent this, restoring 12.04 backup is the only fix (or boot from live cd which is not an option for my hosted machines)
No hints on how to prevent 14.04 upgrade to completely kill your system….maybe next year 14.04 will be released stable ….. :-(

First before you upgrade BACKUP your system!!

I tried upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 on 3 systems. 2 of the 3 left me with a blinking cursor after upgrade and reboot, systems were completely hosed. All 3 were servers, the 2 that failed were a 32-bit server and 64-bit server and I have no idea why, but the upgrade at least is not ready for primetime
