I've usually had bad luck with 'grub-install', I would boot a live cd and run the grub command itself, then just run the install commands: # grub --no-floppy ... grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) This assumes your /boot/grub/menu.lst is already setup, /dev/sda1 is your root, and you want your bootloader on the /dev/sda drive. If any of that's not true adjust the (hdX,X) part, so if you want the boot loader on /dev/sdb and the root partition is /dev/sdb2 run 'root (hd1,1)' and 'setup (hd1)'. Hope that helps.
