Bug Description
Hy,
I just finished a 4 hour struggle with grub and grub-install after I installed windows xp and trashed my partition table and existing grub on the mbr.
After restoring the partition types and other fun stuff, grub-install wouldn't work!
I always got The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
After many reboots, I tried manually from grub
root(hdX,Z)
setup(hdX)
and grub was installed.
This looks to me as a bug in grub-install or a pretty missleading error message.
PS: The partition order was changed by the XP installer but I changed menu.lst and fstab. Of course that grub-install didn't work till the end.

grub-install is part of grub, not grub-installer (the latter is an installer component).
