GRUB broke when I resized partitions

Hello,

Background:
IBM Thinkpad Laptop, 32gb drive.
Partition 0, NTFS (win2k),
Partition 1 Extended (linux lives here)
Partition 2  (FAT32, some kind of IBM recovery crap)

Inside Partition1 (P1)
/boot     hda5
swap
/    hda7
/home     hda8

System Commander 7 is installed in Partition 0, all has been working well
for quite a while.  I've done this resize operation in the past, and have
not had problems with it.

Shrunk P0, enlarged P1, moved hda6, swap, hda7 and hda8 down to bottom of
freespace in P1, then made hda8 larger.

Now, when I boot to Linux, I get "GRUB  _"   And that's all folks.
CTL-ALT-DEL still works.  So I'm not frozen

I booted from the rescue disk, and chrooted /mnt/sysimage

I can see the grub stuff in /boot and grub.conf in /etc.  Now, this is
where it gets strange.

If I run from grub prompt   "find /boot/grub/stage1" I get "Error 15: File
not found".  The file is there.

If I run "setup (hd0,4)" I get "Error 12: Invalid device requested."

Any ideas?
