Look at "/boot/grub/device.map". It sets up a correspondence between grub's hdX and devices in "/dev/disk/by-id/..." so it doesn't depend on the kernel's device names. Run "grub-mkdevicemap" and "grub-install '(hdX)'" where "(hdX)" corresponds to the disk in "/boot/grub/device.map" on which you want to install grub. Furthermore, it's fine to have a rant and blame this or that for your problem but weren't you asked whether you wanted to chainload grub2 from grub1 when you went through the upgrade? Did you choose that option? Did you test grub2 that way? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
