Using grub shell manually always worked for me:
- grub
- find /boot/grub/menu.lst
- root <result from above command>
- setup <place to install too> for example (hd0,0) for first harddisks MBR
Remember to copy over the contents of /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc to /boot
before you do a manual installation.
Ciao,
