/boot/grub/stage1 does not belong to any RPM package. It's copied there upon installing the boot block. Do you have a separate /boot and /usr partition? Did you mount every partition? Did you chroot into your system? Did you re-install GRUB with the "grub-install" utility?
I have only / partition and I used chroot /mnt/sysimage on the rescue console. I tried reinstalling grub by using 'grub-install /dev/had' but it told me that it couldn't read the file /boot/grub/stage1
So, what do you think?

Well, is the file there or not?
I think you could post a listing of the contents of /boot/grub, check the permissions of the directory (must be writable), show that you really have a good installation of the grub package, and run
grub-install --debug /dev/hda
You could also try "grub-install --just-copy" and then list the contents of /boot/grub. The stage* files should be there.
