Obviously once you have gotten yourself into this situation, you need to

boot.
For those ending up here looking for a solution, this worked for me:

It is invalid because it is not a bug. The original reporter's system
was misconfigured, and can be corrected by running sudo dpkg-reconfigure
grub-pc. If you are having a different issue and/or this does not
resolve it for you, please file a new bug.

Same here:
1. backup: attached an external disk to update my files first
2. started upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 with the usb disk attached

Dear Colin Watson and Phillip Susi,
"invalid" is not appropriate for a bug or product failure.
It is not a users fault,

Its true - in a sense - a similar bug was produced after a recent update
to grub which caused similar errors as this one - I got a "blocklist"
error and while I could still boot Ubuntu I could not boot Windows.

Same error occured on my TravelMate 8481TG Notebook (equipped with a
64GB SSD and a 320 GB HDD). System was initially installed and worked
with oneiric, but refused to boot ("error: no such partition.") after
upgrading to precise pangoline.
Fixed it with a Boot-Repair LiveCD- the diagnostic output

Andreas,
You get the ribbon. I had the same exact symptoms: single drive,
multiple partitions (however only one OS - Ubuntu).
Boot-Repair worked like a champ.
Thanks.

Jason, I guess you will simply have to reinstall grub using a live cd.
To do this you can either use the graphical solution bootrepair:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
Or you use the chroot method as described here:

Same problem for me now after running upgrade this morning.
Single harddisk, but multiple partitions (Windows, precise, another linux,

I came into the same problem after the upgrade of my 12.04 this morning.
I googled for how to fix this bug for almost an hour and tried much but made

I already fixed this with a live cd..
While upgrading grub, there was an error that grub couldn't be installed

How to prevent this in the future?

OK, so I'm afraid your GRUB installation was simply misconfigured. It
was set up to upgrade the boot loader on /dev/sda every time you
upgraded, but according to your comment on IRC you want it on /dev/sdb.

/dev/sdb, which eventual
