I haven't seen my first post come through yet, and I checked the archives and I do not see it, so here it is.

I am having the same grub problem using 2.4.18-5, where -4 & -3 worked
fine.  This last time that I tried it, I found some information on VT3
and VT5

VT3:

GRUB command root (hd0,0)
install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p
(hd0,0)/boot/grub/grub.conf

VT5

It showed the grub command line (grub>)

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p
(hd0,0)/boot/grubgrub> install...

and it keeps repeating this for eleven times.  All subsequent instances
had the trailing / (i.e.,  .../boot/grub/grub>).  It looks like grub is
not quite getting the command correctly, and/or it is retrying the
command.  It is obviously missing the grub.conf entry on the tail end,
but I cannot figure out why it is having problems.

If I run the two commands from inside the grub command-line (after doing
a linux rescue), it works perfectly.  I still cannot figure out why it
worked the first three times!
