GRUB trouble

[David Krings]

Hi!

I have the Asus M2n32-SLI Deluxe board with 2x SATA as RAID1 on the 
FakeRAID nVidia SATA controller. F7_64 installed fine and booted fine, 
but then I decided to add updates and a good load of applications to the 
system. After that the boot hangs at the grub> prompt and that is 
basically the point where I need some help.

Other information in bullet points:
- GRUB installed on MBR of FakeRAID
- worked fine several times
- dual boot with XP64
- have a Promise IDE controller with 2 PATA drives present
- the F7 install is on the second parition of the mirror raid

I did try install and setup at the grub prompt, but I have no idea how 
the INSTALL_DEVICE is called as it is to be the FakeRAID, which was 
named nvidia_andthensomething.
I can boot from the install DVD and get the live system, but when I opt 
to repair the existing installation I am always told that GRUB will not 
be reinstalled, because I did not install any new kernel modules. THAT 
is the biggest disappointment. I can live for now with the annoyance to 
potentially have to fix GRUB after installing updates/apps, but I don't 
even get really a chance....or better to say, I don't know how.

Any help is appreciated.
