32 OP, if it were me, I'd chroot in, re-emerge grub, reinstall grub to the
33 drive and then try to reboot. It doesn't seem to me that it is the OS
34 itself or the kernel since it doesn't seem to get that far either. It's
35 either a BIOS or a grub issue. I'm thinking along the same lines of
36 Meino myself. Since chrooting in is a bit of a pain, I'd cover the
37 whole field while in it.

39 Don't forget, you can use the -K option to install from binaries if you
40 save them. That may save a little bit of time.

42 Hope that helps.
