This file is result of boot-repair package: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9143905/ http://textuploader.com/ow4p

UPDATE 2

When I want to purge previous grub and install new one with boot-repair in live cd, got this error:

Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: error: unknown filesystem.

UPDATE 3

When I run this command: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda I got this output: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: error: unknown filesystem.

@edwardtorvalds Excuse me, Can I solve this problem or reinstall Ubuntu? — Daniyal Javani, Nov 21 '14 at 14:13
if reinstall is not a problem to you then do it. from next time never upgrade kernel(never experiment with you system). dont change your system, just do installation which is safe. if you cant reinstall then try above method and tell me, whether it worked or not — Alex Jones, Nov 21 '14 at 14:58
@edwardtorvalds Thanks, I'd try it, It's not working for me, Updates in question is result of boot-repair app. — Daniyal Javani, Nov 21 '14 at 16:04
