So not even a "grub rescue" prompt!
I wonder whether this isn't related to the sdg2 issue that I pointed
out in my previous email. I don't know enough (or even anything!)
about the handoff from boot.img in the MBR to core.img in the post-MBR
gap to know whether the first "set root='(hd6,msdos2)" can screw
things up.
Of course, I could be completely off-base and your problem could be
some kernel/hardware driver problem caused by 6.0 to 6.0.1 upgrade...
