Thank uou Frank and Klaus. As you surmised, it was a typo : I meant to say /dev/sda to be sure I repeated the grub-install and the version given by bootinfoscript if 1.99 though AI have 2.00-14. When I use grub rescue and type set prefixs=(hd1,msdos1)/boot/grub and then root=(hd1,msdos1) and insmod normal it gives unknown file system error.
