To summarize: from the bug description and the logs we understand that (hd0,1)
aka /dev/sda2 contains a GRUB stage1. This stage1 finds the stage2 (so a GRUB>
prompt can be displayed), but for for some unknown reason it fails to find the
menu.lst. The reason may be that stage1 and stage2 of GRUB are relics of an
older installation on that partition, and stage2 tries to look for the
configfile on the wrong partition. In this case it is very difficult to do
anything. We would need to look into stage1 to find the position of stage2, and
then we need an at least half-way reliable way to find out where this stage2
looks for the menu.lst. This cannot be done for 10.3. It is a feature for
after 10.3. Note that it may be possible to do something if stage2 could also
not be found: during menu.lst update, verify the position of the stage2 in the
GRUB stage1 (which can be done for some years with GRUB), and if it looks OK,
create a chainloader entry, otherwise create a configfile entry. This also
requires too much new code and is a feature for after 10.3. Tim, leaving you
in needinfo because of comment #4.
