So this seems to be the correct diagnosis.  I booted into rescue mode,
and now the problem is this:

/dev/sda1 is the boot partition.  I see the kernel images and /grub in
there.  I can mount that.

/dev/sda2 is the 'main' partition, but I guess its LVM or something
like that.  I can't mount it like "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sysimage"...
Something about it can't find the filesystem.

If I can't mount /dev/sda2, this means that I can't run grub-install.
(As I understand things.)

(And / Or, maybe I'm thick headed.)
