do you know if your motherboard can boot from /dev/hde ??
- not all bios/mb supports booting from off-board controllers
- stick a working disk/cd-drive in /dev/hde and see if you can
boot it
it'd be pointless to install the grub mbr on /dev/hde if it cannot boot
than come back to grub issues
mv /boot/grub/device.map /boot/grub/device.map.old
assuming you have a working disk /dev/hda ( aka hd0 )
assuming you have a working disk /dev/hdc ( aka hd1 )
assuming you have a working disk /dev/hde ( aka hd2 )

that is wrong

you do NOT need to type all that if you cannot guarantee you know
what yu're telling it

guess not

keep it simple ...
==================
grub> root (hd2,0)
grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13-2 root=/dev/hde1
grub> setup (hd2)
grub> exit
- use the kernel you have
if you had no errors, you can now boot from /dev/hde into /dev/hde1
- download the latest legacy grub from CVS if you have any problems
