As you said, I booted the system via rescue disk, and execute grub and issue
those commands. Then, I reboot the system, but it does not boot.

Then I searched on google about logging grub errors, which I could not find
anything useful (meybe I did not look enough). So that, in rescue system, I
execute grub and type commands in grub.conf (results are below) to see which
error occurs.



# grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.

[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename.]
