Do you have multiple disk ? Can you search on all your disk for grub's files ?

hello,
the last 3 times I installed C5, the MBR was unchanged and nothing was written into /boot/grub except splash.xbm.gz
there were no stage* files, nor a menu.lst I know how to fix that.
Would I have better luck using a partition mounted as /boot? Anyone succeded with Grub that way? I prefer not having to do surgery to get C5 to boot :)
I remember having the nearly-empty /boot/grub directory before but memory fails me as to the exact circumstances.
Have installed C5 with/without a /boot partition, but having a /boot seems to be the safer bet. If / is LVM a /boot is required as GRUB doesn't seem to be able to deal with LVM - thus the "standard" configuration one gets with a default install/partitioning. (Following the link within the link below may bring back memories of some very extended threads for some on the list. :-)
