Hi dude. , I hate grub, it's always giving me problems when installing on hi end servers and in some clones too, the problem is, I'm almost sure , that grub did not installed cleanly in the mbr, this happens to me thousands of time. What I do is to boot in rescue mode from a live cd, ubuntu or whatever you like, and rewrite the grub loader, what what I do is to install lilo, the only adventage, or do not know how to name it, is that cannot run xen with lilo, so I'm stucked with grub whenever I play with virtualization and xen :( PD: In the grub web page, there is a procedure to do that. Hope this shed some light.
