GRUB GRUB GRUB etc

[Chris Synan]

Hi,

I have just installed Gentoo and Grub.

When I reboot I don't get the "Stage 1.5" message.  Instead all I get is

GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB
GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB
GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB
GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB ...

well, you get the point.

anyway, I have done alot of digging around on google and IRC and i find
hints of the problem?  Some other people have had this problem when they
have SCSI RAID and IDE drives on the machine.  That is what I have
also.. but I removed the SCSI card and still get the same error.

I am confident that my menu.lst is set up properly, because I have
installed GRUB on a few other machines and it has worked OK.

Here are some stats of the machine:

PIII 800 512mb ram
Adaptec AAA 131 SCSI RAID (only supports MS) 2x IBM drives
WD IDE drive (w/ gentoo)
ASUS CUSL2 Mobo

on the gentoo drive
/dev/hda1 = boot
/dev/hda2 = swap
/dev/hda3 = root

menu.lst:

root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3



if anyone has seen this or has any idea how to fix, I would love to hear
it!! thanks,

chris
