Hi,
If you just see GRUB it means it cannot complete the first stage booting, probably because of some missing files in /boot
that was the hint that had put me on the right track. Grub was not able to find its files due to a wrong device.map. In my BIOS configuration the SATA-drive is selected as first boot device but Grub uses to start counting devices with IDE drives. So i modified my device.map from:
device.map: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/sda
to: device.map: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/hda And after reinstalling grub everything works fine again. Thanks for your help, Andre
