Re: 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS Upgrade. GRUB Install Failed. Chainloader Fails.
Grub2 doesn't fit on a Partition Boot Sector (PBR). That's why it's not recommended to install it there. I think you can still do it, but you have to force it with the -f option.
I personally see no problem editing your grub1 once in a while when new kernel is installed. You want to keep grub1 but yet not to deal with the way it works.
Note that even if you install grub2 on a PBR it might break during some updates. This is because it doesn't fit on the PBR so it saves part of it at some location. This can change during updates so it can't find it later.
But if you are prepared for all that, you should be able to boot into 12.04 live mode, activate the LVM, mount /boot and root and install grub2 to sdc3 with -f.
If you need help with any of that, feel free to ask.
Darko.
