 This repeats until I insert some other bootable media and started 
 happening when I upgraded to 1.97+experimental.2009-1. I've tried 
 reinstalling grub2 1.97 from an Ubuntu liveCD, but that doesn't seem to 
 fix the problem.

Unfortunately the same happened to me today.
Seems like I should even test the experimental uploads on my real
hardware first before uploading.
I *think* this didn't happen with previous experimental upload.

1.97-1 though works still fine for me.
How did you reinstalled?
If you don't get the grub-install output in the postinst, then you have
to do either sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc and select the device you
boot from or run grub-install /dev/sda yourself.

Okay, yeah, at first I just chrooted into my HD and issued grub-install 
/dev/sda, thinking it would somehow use grub from the liveCD. But as it 
turns out I had to manually downgrade to 1.97-1 inside the chroot in order 
for my system to boot properly. Who'da thunk it?


Thank you for your expertise and hopefully this bug is fixed with next 
experimental.
