Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /media/root/boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

will you try following command
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda
I'm not sure but ,,,,invalid or unsupported executable format is
usually a result of a mapping error on grub , but you seem to have it
mapped correctly. I can only guess that the device.map might be wrong,
try checking /boot/grub/device.map and see if /dev/sda is actually (hd0)
like grub thinks it is
