Are you using grub1 or grub2?

In case of using grub1: is /boot/grub/stage* available? If not does:

  cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1 /boot/grub/stage1
  cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2 /boot/grub/stage2

help? (if you're on a amd64 system replace i386-pc with x86_64-pc)

If you're using grub1, what about:

  echo quit | grub --device-map=tmp-device.map --batch

If using grub2:

  grub-mkdevicemap --device-map=tmp-device.map

What's inside tmp-device.map then?

thanks for you patience
