GRUB isn't supposed to have a stable ABI. Never use an old core.img with a new grub-setup, or for that matter, any combination of core.img, *.lst, *.mod and grub-setup where all of them aren't the same version. It is better to just use grub-install to avoid mistakes. Please, retry with grub-install "(hd0)" and report if your problem is still present. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
