Which dowsn't look very healthy. GRUB doesn't see any disks.
help-g...@gnu.org is recommending:

I'd use a Debian netinst image in rescue mode and reinstall GRUB to the
We're thinking along the same lines. I tried the DVD rescue mode to
reinstall GRUB. I did not think to use the netinst image. I don't
know what difference that would make, however. Anyway, it did not
help.
I found the grub-install program the help-grub mailing list
suggested. They also suggested to stay close to the distribution, so
I'll let you all know what I did if I get this install to work.
I'm going to boot with the first DVD and go to rescue mode. I have
successfully mounted the disk. I can see all the files. I just don't
know why Grub can't see them. The install disk can see them, too,
obviously, because it installed the files. I think this is a grub
config issue. Just a guess, though. I wish I could get a little
farther along in the boot sequence so I could look at the dmesg
output.
Thanks, Brian.

Using the BIOS to emulate Native Mode IDE is making the machine behave
better. I at least reached a

prompt. So, I think it found the disk. Finally. :) I'm going to do a
fresh install set things up the way I normally do and I'll post later
if it is successful.
