Well, is the file there or not?

I think you could post a listing of the contents of /boot/grub,
check the permissions of the directory (must be writable), show
that you really have a good installation of the grub package,
and run

  grub-install --debug /dev/hda 

You could also try "grub-install --just-copy" and then list the
contents of /boot/grub. The stage* files should be there.
