I tried the upgrade and now the dual boot machine is just a single boot.

What is the other boot? Windows?
What is booted up? Lucid?

Have you checked, if booted to Lucid, if grub is now grub2?
(grub-install -v ==> gives 1.98)

If yes to all (most likely), have you done
sudo grub-install /dev/sda ?

If still at grub-legacy, (but recommend you upgrade to grub2, install
grub-pc)
sudo grub-mkdevicemap
sudo update-grub
