In order to fix GRUB, boot to a Live CD, pull up a terminal and "grub". At the 
grub prompt "root (hd0)" and "setup (hd0)" should write GRUB to the mbr, using 
the /boot/grub/menu.lst that's on (hd0,0) (that's /dev/sda, in your case).
 
Notice this does not fix the imaging issue, it just fixes a broken GRUB 
install. Likely once you have GRUB written to the MBR correctly, the imaging 
issue will disappear for that particular (client) machine.

Subject: [Sisuite-users] GRUB issues


After upgrading to the latest stable Debian/Ubuntu package, I appear to have 
Systemimager working with one minor exception.  
I can pull an image from a golden-client.  I can push an image out to a new 
client.  However, when I try to reboot the new client, I either just get the 
word "GRUB" or the message "no operating system found".  I booted the newly 
imaged client with an install disk and mounted the partition where the OS was 
installed(/dev/sda1).  It mounts fine and all of the files appear to be there 
and in their correct places.  For some reason the MBR seems to get clobbered 
during the imaging process.  Is this a known issue?  I have read some vague 
references to it on the list.  I tried fixing the problem by running grub from 
the install disk and I am still getting no where.  I know which disk/partition 
I need to specify in grub because I can mount that partition and look at  it.  
From the  install disk i do the following. 

sudo mkdir /mnt/root
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root

When I  do an ls everything looks fine.  
Does anyone have any idea how to either 1) fix this via post-installation 
scripts or 2) fix it in the imaging process so my clients will boot?  
Thanks,
Jason
