Now I think I know what's happening. My BIOS has a problem of recognizing
a hard disk over 8GB. So I have a program called "EZ-BIOS" installed at
MBR on my hard disk. GRUB seems to destroy that extra EZ-BIOS information
completely and left the hard disk a corrupted partition table.
(LILO, however, does a smarter job). Do you have any idea of how to
remedy this?
Thanks.
