I *think* I know what caused the problem.
On executing upgrade-from-grub-legacy this screen appears:

'/dev/hda' was colored red, so you selected OK and pressed Enter.
BUT you should have pressed the space bar first, so an 'x' appears
before '/dev/hda'.

It can easily be repaired, however, by running the command:

    grub-install /dev/hda
