"Been there, done that!"  ;-)  Before going to that step, it's always
advisable to have a bootable "rescue" disk *at hand*, preferrably one
that uses Grub, or at least with GRUB on it.  A bootable "Live CD",
the old LFS or even Knoppix, is a great thing to have at hand in any
event.  If you had, one thing you could do is enter the necessary
stanza by hand and boot into your new LFS-7.8.  That would tell you if
it really is built properly and runs.  That divides the problem in
two, whether it's the system itself, which not so coincidentally tried
to setup the MBR and grub.cfg, or the MBR/grub.cfg itself.  That makes
it easier to focus.
