Please run "grub-install /dev/hda" (without --debug), save the exact
output, try booting again, and report success or failure. It sounds
like you didn't actually do this since you didn't quote the exact
output. I know this may seem tedious but I would really appreciate you
following the steps again so as not to rely on your memory. Also, if
grub does fail to boot after running grub-install again, please
confirm that "ls" from the grub rescue shell (which I assume is what
you're getting to) lists no drives or partitions.
