Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Attempting to install Xubuntu Jaunty to replace an existing Kubuntu
Intrepid.
Because the install was a total failure (separate bug raised) I had to
restore from my backups. However, having done so and attempted to
reboot, Grub failed with "error 15 file not found".
After spending a lot of time trying to reinstall Grub and not getting
anywhere, I spotted that the UUID of my root partition had been changed
by the install process, so not surprisingly, the UUID in menu.lst was
incorrect. Editing this file allowed my computer to boot into the
restored system.
I would suggest that this shows that changing the UUID of filesystems
during installation is an undesirable behaviour.
