Hi,

We encountered a grub weirdness and I can't find any reference to this issue 
on the Internet.

Recipe:
1) Install debian via debian-installer (testing version)
2) Get a "standard desktop" running
3) Download a tar.gz of another debian-installer based system
4) Boot into a network-based rescue disk
5) untar the tar.gz into the system
6) Reboot

From this point the grub boots and shows the prompt, Internet sites suggest 
that the /boot/grub/ directory is malformed, or missing, or doesn't have the 
configuration files - this is not true, everything is there :)

If I "move" the /boot/ directory to /boot.backup/ prior to untaring, then move 
it back to /boot/ (replacing the one found inside the tar.gz) the system 
boots - but with a wrong kernel, obviously.

Ideas?
