Thanks. The last command (grub-install /dev/sda) succeded in putting sda6 in master boot record, but, as the ones above with Grub prompt, has the effect of reproducing the problem for which the present thread was started: sda7 `breaks down' and needs beeing recovered. I also ran `full-upgrade' again in the hope a possible bug were removed, but nothing. It is true that the actual `problem', about who between sda6 or sda7 should be the root partition, is not so big after all; but I'd be curious to see what the matter is.
