I've installed 14.04 (from 11.10), it worked first, than I tried to install the 64-bit-version, which doesn't seem to be able to boot because of my old BIOS, which does not allow "efi" boot. Now I reinstalled 14.04 32 bit, but still get a grub rescue prompt when trying to boot. Running boot-repair from live ubuntu didn't help. So here's the report boot-repair made: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7410732

Hope someone can help me ...

The 14.04 image will boot without EFI. You could also try the "amd64+mac" image which is BIOS only (no EFI).

Now I reinstalled 14.04 32 bit, but still get a grub rescue prompt when trying to boot

Boot from a livecd and do:

mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
reboot
