My other mail was wrong, this is with 2.4.27. I've also experienced earlier problems with 2.6 kernels and grub-install on this hardware, but I had given up on seeing that working. Having it also break in 2.4.27 now is a suprise. Bug #341381 could be it.
Here is the grub-install log file from /tmp:
/target/tmp # cat grub2vQFGZ
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
the first word, TAB lists possible command
completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> dump (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage1 /tmp/grubdAukBZ
