OK, I've gotten myself out of my predicament. In a root shell launched using the Debian Lenny installation disk Rescue Mode, I re-installed grub-pc (because I had previously tried to recover by downgrading to grub-legacy), then I typed the following sequence of commands:
mv /boot/grub /boot/grub.sav grub-mkconfig > /dev/null grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg grub-install /dev/hdb I then exited the shell. removed the CD, and and selected "Reboot". (The first grub-mkconfig creates a new /boot/grub and device.cfg.) I vote for retaining the "grave" severity for this bug. This has been a nightmare. And all I did was follow the instructions given to me during the original installation of grub-pc, which said to run update-from-grub-legacy if things seemed to be working.
