And what do you mean by --recheck.. is this correct interpretation?: -- Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, try `grub-install --recheck` (or is it `grub-install --recheck /dev/hda`?). Or (under what circumstances should you try which solution?) edit /boot/grub/device.map, and then re-run grub-install (i.e., `grub-install /dev/hda`). -Isaac
