I have the same problem.

Such problems are completely unacceptable. First, when I tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04, it hanged. And rescue with 'dpkg --configure -a' didn't help (apt-get also couldn't fix packages). As a result the system was broken without any chance to be repaired.

Now, when I decided to make a clean install (and reinstall all programs, restore data and configrations, etc.), it does not even boot!

Is it LTS or what?! WTF?!

The right solution should be to reinstall grub:
