I had problems with grub too, and found that one of these variables 
was not set: BOOT_DEVICE, ROOT_PARTITION, BOOT_PARTITION.  That made 
the postinst for /boot/grub/menu.lst break grub during softupdate.

I would check that these are defined properly, and generate a new iso 
is needed.  The grub command line is tricky, but google can help you 
with that :-)
