Maybe the systemrescuecd has a defective Grub. I've never used it to create a 
rescue partition. I get my rescue Grub from a Knoppix boot. Maybe that will 
work for you.

Also, I install using the grub shell directly instead of using scripts:

# grub

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 # ensure it's there before attempting installation

grub> root (hd0,0)           # /dev/sda1 has the Grub files

grub> setup (hd0,0)          # install it

grub> quit
