Yeah, I realised that after I posted to the list. I had removed those lines
entirely in my next attempt. My point was first there should not be a need
of installing grub (am I really correct in this ??) through post install
section. Second even if I am installing it using the grub --batch command
(lines prior to the one you pointed out), why is it still not working.

Comment out that 2nd line, and try it again.


Tried and still the same results.

Now, as for 'ls', 'mv' etc. not being mounted when you chroot in emergency

I am sure that the coreutils package is installed as there is no error while
installing it. I checked for the presence of these commands when I chrooted
to /mnt/sysimage and then tried to run grub-install. All i got from
grub-install was - "could not find rm....." Then I came out of chroot and
using the ls from the cd checked for the presentce of crusial core--utils
files in /mnt/sysimage/bin and couldn't find them.
