Yes, I tried precisely those instructions. As I mentioned, it was failing at the grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg grub-install /dev/sda (try grub-install --recheck /dev/sda if it fails) because grub-probe couldn't understand my ext3 filesystem. He of course specifically mentions this

Yesterday (28 Jan 2010) I ran apt-get upgrade on a Debian unstable distribution. Finally got to reboot this morning and I get a similar problem to that posted at the URL below, which Felix has already responded to (just found this after posting the also-affects bit). Am hunting for my Debian

It appears to have been a failed upgrade from grub to grub-pc? I attempted solutions from several websites, but nothing worked. In particular, grub-probe -d /dev/sda always failed to detect which filesystem it is (ext3) and prompted for a module. There was an ext2 but no ext3 and I couldn't

Alex: Did you ever try Felix's http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide ? I was able to get grub-pc (grub2) to work for me after following the rescue instructions in that guide. It's good to know that installing grub-legacy can get the system working again, but that's not a working grub2

WORKSFORME! Great, thanks again for the install guide. But I want to emphasize how I got into this mess: re-using a hard disk on a multi-disk system, I install Ubuntu Lucid from the LiveDVD. It prompts me for the disk to use etc, and I ask it to *completely erase* the hard disk /dev/sde and
