it looks like your /boot IS just a subdirectory on / but can you post a copy of your /etc/fstab ? [snip]
can you attach a copy of your /boot/grub/grub.cfg or upload it to a pastebin site ? Here are my /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg Hope is OK to attach them to email.

Ok, let's start here. The mount points / and /home are both being mounted via their unique UUID. The first thing to do is to confirm that the UUID and device nodes match up. ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid should give you a list of UUIDs and show the path to the matching device node (example on next line) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 26 23:28 d7740eca-4100-41af-848d-b17aff55fe2d -> ../../sda1

Cheers,
Bingo! This config file is for the newer version of grub You need to install grub2 then run grub-install (grub2 will pull in grub-common and grub-pc) Note that you will need to do so from the chroot to the mounted filesystems, and may find that you need to give the full pathname to grub-install /usr/sbin/grub-install as it may not be in your $PATH Then run update-grub to have it check to see what kernels you have installed as this will regenerate the grub.cfg file based on what it finds. Good luck. Regards, Morrie.
