How about providing some possibly useful information such as grub
version, machine type, etc.

0.92 is over a year old and a lot has changed since then. Debian has
grub 0.93 packages which work fine with 2.5.67-69 for me, you could try
that.

You can always install manually.

I couldn't boot 2.5 at all until I upgraded an ancient grub. Having
a recent bootloader is never a bad thing though, and 0.92 is pretty
old.

unless they fix the source compilation problem i reported
<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=3343&group_id=68>
then i can't install it
and anyway, can you provide any backup that this will fix it ?? what
changed between 2.5.66 and 2.5.67 to stop grub loading the kernel ? why
hasn't anyone else reported this ???
i'm just highly dubious that upgrading grub one revision will help
and it isn't something i can do right now anyway
thanks,

0.92 is successfully booting 2.5.6[89] here, and 0.93 (Debian or
upstream) fails to boot on most of my machines here.
YMMV, of course, but 0.92 works for me.

And as I already said, Debian has binaries you can use on your system.
