4 Hmm, "GRUB" isn't very informative. That particular string should
5 only be printed once when the stage1 loader (the part that is
6 installed in your MBR) executes. If this is appearing multiple times,
7 my best guess is that your stage1 file in /boot/grub/ is corrupt, or
8 was somehow built incorrectly. You don't have "custom-cflags" in USE,
9 do you?

11 What does "equery check grub" and "md5sum /lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1
12 /boot/grub/stage1" report?
