Hi Ravi

will you try following ... and post the result here ??



  1. If you have Grub 2 set to boot without displaying the menu at all, 
hold the SHIFT key down until the menu displays. (In Grub it was the ESC 
key.)
  2. Press any key once the menu is displayed to 'freeze' it. Then 
arrow to the kernel you want to boot.

  3. Press "e"
  4. Scroll to the end of the "linux /boot/vmlinuz" line. If 
displayed, remove "quiet" and/or "splash". Add the word "single" to the 
end of the line.

  5. Press CTRL-X to boot to the Recovery menu.

Ravi

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
