and try to reinstall the grub package too, just to be sure.
Iirc, error 2 is bad file or directory type.

Note on that:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual … 02dinstall

3.3 Installing GRUB using grub-install

Caution: This procedure is definitely less safe, because there are several ways in which your computer can become unbootable. For example, most operating systems don't tell GRUB how to map BIOS drives to OS devices correctly—GRUB merely guesses the mapping. This will succeed in most cases, but not always. Therefore, GRUB provides you with a map file called the device map, which you must fix if it is wrong. See Device map, for more details.

And on error 2:
http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html#stage1_5

2 : "Selected disk doesn't exist"

This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full filename refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system.
