Hi Nicolas,
Can you contact me directly via Jabber (kurtz.alex at googlemail.com)
within the next hour or so? This would make debugging a lot easier!
If not, could you please (in this order):
* check wether you use any sorts of RAID/LVM/CRYPTO etc.
* attach the content of /etc/mtab
* attach the content of /boot/grub/device.map
* attach the output of these commands
ls -l /dev/root
stat /
stat /boot/
* swap the first and second line of /etc/fstab (/boot and /)
so that / is before /boot, then reboot and try if update-grub works
* try to regenerate /boot/grub by using
mv /boot/grub /boot/grub.backup
dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
Best regards
Alexander Kurtz
