I really don't know what "error 2" could mean, but more important: When
does it happen? Do you still get the boot menu? In that case, edit your
boot configuration (hit 'e') and delete the last line "savedefault" (by
hitting 'd' on that line). Then hit 'b' to boot the modified config.
This often succeeds when the filesystem is in an inconsistent state,
because it is still readable, but grub won't write to it any more.

If this doesn't help or if you don't get a boot menu at all, you'll need
to boot in a rescue system (e.g. the Debian CD/DVD or Knoppix, Kanotix,
etc), chroot to your installed system and run grub-install on your
harddisk.
