The stages 1, 1.5, and 2 files are grub1's; grub2 doesn't have them.
It has boot.img and core.img and core.img is installed in the same
disk area as stage 1.5.

The Ubuntu Forums link points to a Debian bug report where the
suggested solution is:
aptitude install mbr (it may already be installed on Lucid)
install-mbr /dev/sda
grub-install --force /dev/sda1
