What does apt-cache policy?

merkaba:~> LANG=C apt-cache policy grub-pc
grub-pc:
  Installed: 2.00-7
  Candidate: 2.00-7
  Version table:
 *** 2.00-7 0
        200 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main amd64 
Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.99-23 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages


What does 

merkaba:~> dpkg -s grub-pc | grep Status
Status: install ok installed

say on your system?


Does

dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

work?


Why does your system have a non-standard kernel? Are any other non 
standard package repositories active?


My recommendation from the other post still applies ;).

With some luck you should be able to downgrade to older grub-pc:

apt-get install grub-pc=1.99-23

or something like that. But that might not work in the current state your 
grub-pc package is in.


Now, lets test whether this new grub2 boots ;). (GRML USB-Stick in reach.)
