Ran dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc and noticed that only /dev/sda1 was
selected. Made sure /dev/sda was selected and removed /dev/sda1(/boot)
since it's a partition. I think the bug is here, /dev/sda should have
been automatically selected to avoid mistakes. In fact, the user should
not even be presented with any of these options while upgrading.

root@ubuntu:/# dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

I'll reboot now in the hope that the /var/lock/lvm error is not a
problem. But it's apearance certainly is a problem as well.
