Morning, just got up. Saw the messages and have to reply now.
Dotan, please keep in mind for grub2, and this goes for karmic onwards, 
you cannot do a sudo grub at the terminal. It's only for grub-legacy.
Naming convention is (hd0,x) for sdax, grub-legacy is 1 number less, ie 
for grub-legacy, sdax is (hd0,x-1). It's important to know that. If in 
doubt, do a search as per my earlier message. Anyway, it's good to 
confirm it too with that search.

Karl, I know you're trying to help, thanks.
