A straight upgrade from 6 to 13 is unlikely to work or otherwise go smoothly. You might try upgrading incrementally--that'll take more time, but it could save you the grief. A clean install is probably your best bet. As long as you run the install properly, you shouldn't run into boot config trouble--if you do, it's probably not the end of the world, though what little I've done with grub has been a pain at times.
