Hi Colin Could it be that grub-install, or your patched debug version did remove the stage2 file? When I execute a grub-install, it seems to touch or to rewrite almost all files under /boot/grub. May be it also deletes the stage2 file?
Unfortunately i have no backup from /boot where i can look if these file were there before. But I did the grub update within a safe-upgrade, shuted down my laptop, an 2 hours later on rebooting there was the described behaviour. Meanwhile it's impossible for me to reproduce the error. As i can read here, some other people have also no stage2 file but the same behavior. This couldn't be contretemps.
