ok ill perform the the said instructions next day in office. but let me share you guys some of my partitions settings. that might help to understand the scenario more clearly.
i have 2. 500GB of HD with raid1 set.fail-over to each other with boot support. 1. /boot (raid1) 2. Swap (raid1) 3. root on LVM on raid1. so i have 3 raid devices and on 3rd one root Partition is on top of LVM i am using the same procedure that i use to install with debian lenny and old squeeze but this is the first time that it showed me this error. i think about the same as you suggested about using debian live CD and install the grub manually. but there is no such command grub-install. i found a command grub-installer. so i didnt knew how to use it. please correct me if my limited knowledge leading me to a wrong direction.
