 this is much appreciated.

grub-emu is a GRUB emulator.  You'd just run it (see --help for options),
then issue grub commands to reproduce the problem.

In your case, it's likely to crash right away, since lvm.mod is loaded
automatically.

  There's a chance you can reproduce your problem with grub-emu (perhaps it
  segfaults, or other odd behaviour).  If you can, it'll be easier for you to
  obtain debug information from it.

  Otherwise we'll have to ressort to the serial cable solution that I mentioned
  in my previous mail.

  Let me know if you have doubts or need help on how to do it.

 Btw, with 1.95+20080128-1, grub-emu is included in the package.  It'd probably
 be easier for you to use that, although it's possible the error is not
 reproducible there.

commenting out insmod lvm solves the problem. Guess the problem is
in the lvm module of grub-pc
