The machine has been faultless for years. I've developed tonnes of software on
it and contributed to fedora-extras from it. Prior to this incident, it had
never missed a beat (well, for the most part never missed a beat) in 4 years
of active service.

The MBR theory is down to getting the one GRUB line, no menu or anything else,
but the LVM still be accessible. As the /boot directory is on /dev/hda1 and
the LVM on /dev/hda2 (with the /home on a totally different hard drive), this
is the only thing which it could really be.

And I suggest that you don't just jump to the conclusion you have!
