Bug#436943: grub2: after install boots into rescue mode

[hugo vanwoerkom]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.95+20070626-1
Severity: important

Installed grub-pc after apt-get update.
Reboot still boots into Legacy-grub.
Moved /boot/grub elsewhere.
Rerun grub-install /dev/hda + update-grub
Reboot boots straight into Grub rescue mode.
No clue as to how to get a menu.

Regards,

Hugo Vanwoerkom
