This is my disk partion table:
sudo fdisk /dev/hda -l

Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        3825    30724281    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2            3826        7226    27318532+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3            7227        7296      562275    5  Extended
/dev/hda5            7227        7296      562243+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

When I install grub as follows:
sudo grub-install /dev/hda2 --modules=ext2
An error message alway occures:

cannot find a GRUB device for /boot/grub.
grub-setup: error: Cannot guess the root device. Specify the option
``--root-device''.


Could any one help me?

Best regards
