Adding grub-devel as Cc: maybe you can help me?

This is what I've found so far:
Installing the latest grub2, from debian-ports:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst: line 557:   668 Segmentation fault
grub-install --force --no-floppy $real_device

booting results in:
grub rescue>

Found a few commands:
ls -> lists (hd0),(hd0,msdos1), partitions
ls / -> OK
ls /boot -> OK, the gnumach image is there!

set root=(hd0,1)
set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub

ls (hd0,1)/boot/grub ->  lists all modules, etc: Is there a pager
available???

ls (hd0,1)/boot/grub/normal.mod -> error: file not found

insmod normal -> error: file not found

No progress from here!
