Hi all,
I just spend (lost) way too much time on some grub weirdness,
so I thought it would be a good idea to write it down somewhere.

Then I tried to setup grub manually (using a device.map
for the dmraid BIOS mapping), but when I entered:
grub> root (hd0,1)
grub> setup (hd0)
Grub complained it could fined neither of /grub/stage1
and /boot/grub/stage1, where as ls clearly shows
/boot/grub/stage1, it can be successfully cat-ed etc.
Which explains why the setup failed, but why does grub
not find stage1?
...
So: grub run under Linux (the grub shell) cannot find stage1,
but run under the BIOS (so stage2) can find vmlinuz and initrd ????

Is this getting close to bug 489652 we've discussed? Even thou you've
got to this situation in different way, IMHO the root cause could be
similar.
What I'm seeing is very different. In my case it was an install, so grub
should have gotten installed into the mbr but didn't.
In your case you did a kernel update (iow did not touch grub other then
grub.conf) and that broke grub. Which is very very weird.

Hans
