Hello

Well , I'm not sure you really want to do this that way:

# ls -l /etc/grub.conf
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           22 Feb 26  2005 /etc/grub.conf
-> ../boot/grub/grub.conf

originally /etc/grub.conf is a symbolic link to /boot/grub/grub.conf
-> after your manipulation you substitute it with a file .. and not the
one that actually boot loader loads ...

And the exact error message is ? ...

(you may want to run grub-install --debug /dev/sda)

Cheers
