Hi,
You should compare the partitions ordering in your bios and your
/boot/grub/device.map, just to be sure you've installed grub on the
right /boot and/or MBR, and that the root partition addressing is right
in either menu.lst or grub.cfg.
That's what "error 22" relates to usually.

I have stayed with grub legacy and have not had any problems at all. I'm not sure what possible advantage grub2 might offer over grub legacy anyway. I've just stayed with what works for me. :)

Using grub2 on Lenny here, no problem, I had to disable UUID in
/etc/default/grub :
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
because with it I ended up with an unbootable system too. (not just
messed up partition ordering, really unbootable for some reason I
couldn't nail).
Advantages in my view are the ability to boot on ext4 partitions, I find
the /etc/grub.d/ templates quite flexible, I like the command line mode,
it's prettier (doesn't hurt). It also seems to ship with a lot of nice
advanced features, but I haven't tried them so far.
