Ok, not getting any response here, probably means either:

Would someone be so kind as to explain... & perhaps, if necessary,

In principle, the right list for obtaining help with GRUB would be
help-grub.
But in practice, I'm not sure if there will be people there who can
provide user assistance. Therefore user questions are tollerated in
grub-devel.
I'd really like to make help-grub the user support forum, but since I don't
have more time to volunteer myself, I'm not sure how to make this happen.
FWIW, if anyone who reads this is willing to help the GRUB project by
watching help-grub and helping with user requests there, he/she's more
than welcome to do that.
Hi Robert (& any one willing & or able to try & help here, in some way),
I do appreciate your response. I did a search & found the grub-help
list, I signed up, & now know (at least) probably not much help there.
Perhaps the simplest request, since I tried reinstalling it, then
uninstalled grub2 (& grub), tried lilo, then installing (I think) legacy
grub (this thru synaptic p.m.), & I just read (a portion) of the grub
manual... & do believe I got, previously, some possibly dangerous advise
previously on grub-dev list (grub-install), but in any case, if I just
knew where to find relatively clear information on how to configure (or
whatever needs to be done to connect a fresh install of grub (or grub2)
with the kernel, & or whatever is necessary), considering I am booted
from a disk (pmagic), which uses grub2, v. 0.97-os.1, into my OS, Debian
Lenny, sid/squeeze, kernel 2.6.32, this might be of some help. In a
*cursory* look thru the grub manual, I couldn't find this.
& by the way, this version of grub allows my monitor to work in correct
resolution, with out problems (trying to fix this, was original cause of
my problem/s here, apparently, the startup-manager would not connect its
parameters with grub). I think the version of grub2 that got 'upgraded'
was v. 0.973-alpha (alas,not really sure of this, in any case, it was
the latest upgrade just several days ago).
Hoping this make enough sense to possibly advise a trail toward resolution.
Henry
