Bug#547944: still unbootable

[Yitzchak Gale]

OK, I've gotten myself out of my predicament.
In a root shell launched using the Debian Lenny
installation disk Rescue Mode, I re-installed
grub-pc (because I had previously tried to recover
by downgrading to grub-legacy), then I typed the
following sequence of commands:

mv /boot/grub /boot/grub.sav
grub-mkconfig > /dev/null
grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg
grub-install /dev/hdb

I then exited the shell. removed the CD, and
and selected "Reboot".

(The first grub-mkconfig creates a new /boot/grub
and device.cfg.)

I vote for retaining the "grave" severity for this
bug. This has been a nightmare. And all I did
was follow the instructions given to me during
the original installation of grub-pc, which said
to run update-from-grub-legacy if things seemed
to be working.

Thanks,
Yitz
