The error (at least the "message" because the underlying problem can be of a different nature) is documented here: http://wiki.debian.org/GrubRecover Check if the suggested steps help (take care of adjusting the commands for your GRUB version). Besides, if you are using raid 1 don't forget installing GRUB in both disks which are part of the array so the system can be automatically booted in the event one of them go down.
