I guess you are missing your i386 ld.so, which is /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (a link to /lib/i486-linux/ld-2.3.2.so). You probably can't run any other i386 program either. Do you have the package ia32-libc6 properly installed? Incidentally, I think the grub package is buggy. It requires ia32-libc6, but it that package isn't essential and grub doesn't depend on it.

It is statically linked, and does not need any runtime linkage. I don't have (and most certainly don't want) ia32-libc6 either, and grub runs fine here.

Incidentally , to the original reporter : I suspect grub will work for you even if your kernel is not able to run 32bit code. This simply because grub runs before the kernel.

Must've been a false alarm due to running ldd on a statically-linked binary. grub runs before Linux, it should not depend on anything. No, that's wrong. /sbin/grub runs in user-space and requires the kernel, with 32-bit support. The grub boot loader, which is /boot/grub/*, runs before linux. Incidentally , to the original reporter : I suspect grub will work for you even if your kernel is not able to run 32bit code. This simply because grub runs before the kernel. But not /sbin/grub, which is what the original poster asked about.
