Grub rescue question

[address@hidden]

Hello,

I am preparing a new linux system using GRUB2 for this aircraft:

http://www.dlr.de/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-1/86_read-18278/


I have some problems when trying to booting the linux system from a USB memory 
stick. Here is a trace of what I do and  
observe:

-------------------------------
Welcome to GRUB!

Entering into rescue mode...

grub rescue> ls
(hd0) (hd0,1) (hd0,2) (hd0,3)

grub rescue> set
prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub
root=hd0,1

grub rescue> ls (hd0,1)/
./ ../ lost+found/ boot/ sources/ /scripts/ /tools/ /dev proc/ sys/ bin/ etc/
home/ lib/ mnt/ opt/ media/ sbin/ srv/ var/ root/ tmp/ usr/ antarix/ README log/

grub resuce> cat (hd0,1)/README
Welcome to the antarix (B)LFS-6.3.3 linux-2.6.28.7 system!

grub rescue> ls (hd0,1)/etc
error: out of disk
-------------------------

As you can see everything looks OK until I start accessing directories. The 
file system is ext3, but this 
should 

not be a problem (I am using GRUB2 without any problems on a IDE disk).



I would be grateful if you could give me a hint to help me solve this problem.



Best regards
