According to airhead this can be caused by having your bios |
| 25 |
detect your disks automatically. Try to set your bios entry to |
| 26 |
User Type HDD. |

Another possibility is that you had Grub installed on your MBR |
| 29 |
and tried reinstalling it (for instance due to hard disk changes) |
| 30 |
but used the wrong setup and root commands. |
