I recently upgraded from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04.
I'm renting a dedicated server, then I can't access to GRUB at start-up.
So I can't boot (no ping response) and I don't know why.
My host allow me to boot with a live CD image (ubuntu 12.04) to recovery my server, then I mounted my partitions and started a chroot session.
I tried to install last linux-image (4.4.0-47)and installation worked like a charm. I did the command update-grub.
Here is /boot/grub/menu.list
I also tried to install another kernel version as you can see(4.4.0-34).
root@62-210-243-90:/boot/grub# cat menu.lst
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-legacy-doc/.
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 3
## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)

# Pretty colours

Another information : It's looking like there is no news logs written when I boot ubuntu16.04 (like Syslog or dmesg). I know that because I did the command "ls -t -lh" in /var/log to sort files by time.
My last dsmeg is before the upgrade.
Can you help me to solve this boot issue ?
Thanks for your help.
Ask me for informations
It's patched. I just reinstalled Grub from chroot with command "grub-install /dev/sda" followed by "grub-update".
