With a live cd or from the Linux that can be booted copy

/boot/grub/menu.lst

or

/boot/grub/menu.cfg

to an email to the list. I guess just the menu entries are missing.

Take a look at all partitions. If there are folders /boot on some
partitions there should be the kernels. For any kernel there has to be
an entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst, for /boot/grub/menu.cfg it can be a
little bit complicated.
