you should only need to use grub-install and update-grub (or grub-mkconfig)
Running grub-setup after grub-install without matching arguments given
by grub-install to grub-setup it can create non-working setup.
So commands needed are:
grub-install
update-grub (or grub-mkconfig, or manually create grub.cfg)
Now if you get stuck to rescue console you probably want to start
loading normal mode first (insmod normal.mod) and required modules
needed for booting. I think we should write something about rescue
console to wiki.
Here is what probably happened:
When you issues grub-setup manually you probably forgot to specify
filesystems and such so grub cannot load natively from MBR your system.
As grub-setup is advanced tool it should not be used manually, please
try with only grub-install and see if it help.
