[Solved] grub in minimal mode, not using my menu.lst

Hi everyone,

Installed Archlinux (using chakra livecd) on a friend's laptop, but for some reason have grub only in minimal mode... I can boot using

configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst

but I need to retype this at each boot...

Partition layout is :

* sda1 : Windows Vista
* sda2 : HP resue partition
* sdb1 : archlinux root ("/"). /boot is on this partition
* sdb2 : /home

My menu.lst works as expected.

I tried to run

grub-install /dev/sdb

no error appears on the output, but no effect on next reboot

I also tried this on the grub prompt :

root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)

Same thing, no error reported, but no effect on reboot.

Any idea ?

D'oh !!!

I just realized that

grub-install /dev/sda

solved everything... Sorry for the noise
