When installing grub on ide disk partition (reiserfs or jfs) I had
often (not always) error:
Error installing GRUB. (see /dev/vc/5 for output)
->
grub> root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0,1)
. . .
Running "install /boot/grub stage1 ..." failed
Error 6: Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2
grub> quit

I tried sync from vc2 befor installing grub and it helped.
This task depends upon

With 0.7beta1 iso:
Installed grub on /dev/discs/disc0/part8 (ide/reiserfs) failed with the same error: "Error 6: Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2."

Then just afer, I tried to install grub a 2nd time, without any change, and it worked... not sure if sync helps here or not.

Added a sync call after the copy. We'll see if it helps.
