I have now tried what Henning did (and just like him added "--debug"), running from a GTerminal the last failed command listed in /var/log/user.log:
   sudo chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy --debug "/dev/sda9":
which now seems to have finished just fine and I didn't notice any error messages.

But something is still missing or not correctly configured.
When I boot up and select in my BM the partition with the initial GRUB bootloader code in its PBR, I'm ending up in a GRUB shell, rather than GRUB loading Jaunty's Linux kernel.

So what else do I need to do/check for/provide info for, in order to finally have Jaunty to start up?
