Hi,
We encountered a grub weirdness and I can't find any reference to this issue
on the Internet.
Recipe:
1) Install debian via debian-installer (testing version)
2) Get a standard desktop running
3) Download a tar.gz of another debian-installer based system
4) Boot into a network-based rescue

Maybe a better approach would be to format the /dev/sda partition first?

Can you boot anyways? Take the commands written in the menu.lst file
under the kernel version you want and type them at the prompt one at a
time, adding boot as the last command. It should start the right kernel.

Don't use --root-directory. Chroot into it.

Everything is identical the only different between before and after is
that the tar.gz is based on stable kernel, while the installer was based on
a testing kernel.

Hi,
Issue is that if I chroot, there is no /dev/sda there.. unless u tell me how

Since no one has already suggested the following, I'm making this
suggestion:
1. cp -r /boot /tmp/boot-before
2. Untar the tarfile
3. cp -r /boot /tmp/boot-after
4. diff -r /tmp/boot-before /tmp/boot-after
5. Study the differences.
6. ???
7. Profit!

Hi,
The problem is solved, the error still there if I do it from the rescue disk,

the prompt :)
Thanks guy.
