However after I updated the machine after the upgrade and rebooted, grub was messed up for some reason and I was left with just "GRUB" on the screen which leaves me a bit worried I fixed it by rescue booting and reinstall grub but that is something that a novice end user certainly is unable to perform or do..

I have been seeing that to, but haven't figured out what has been triggering
it. Do you use raid for /boot?

By the way you don't need to reboot in rescue mode to fix this.
You can use the configfile command to indicate where your configfile
is located and then boot from one of the menu items. Something like:
configfile (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf
Then once the system is up as root you can run grub and redo the setup
with something like the following (for a raid 1 system):
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
setup (hd1)
This was default next next done F10 installation with encryption default
partition layout.

If I had the grub command line I could have but all I got
was "GRUB"  no more no less...

I just booted the rescue image chrooted and re installed grub which solved it.

Noticed that pjones did some recent changes to grub going to ping him about to
see if they might have caused this.
