I'm also seeing this error message but in different conditions: on a grub-pc installed in a USB-device where i with a menuentry i want to boot an iso.
Strange is that this happens on ainstallation on a 150GB USB-HD but not on 20GB USB-HD ! Choosing the last menu entry, works on the tiny HD but not with the big one!! There throws the message: error: you need to load the kernel first other message also seen is error: out of disk 20GB USB-HD installation: All grub entries Work fine Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98~20091210-1 -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/78e9c4d0-07fc-4846-bd24-d82afd0ca2be / ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda2 /media/disk1part2 ntfs ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0133,dmask=022,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1 0 0 /dev/sda3 /media/disk1part3 ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,errors=continue,data=writeback 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 insmod ext2 set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 78e9c4d0-07fc-4846-bd24-d82afd0ca2be if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't # understand terminal_output terminal gfxterm fi fi set locale_dir=/boot/grub/locale set lang=de insmod gettext set timeout=5 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-2.slh.1-sidux-686" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 78e9c4d0-07fc-4846-bd24-d82afd0ca2be linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-2.slh.1-sidux-686 root=UUID=78e9c4d0-07fc-4846-bd24-d82afd0ca2be ro vga=791 quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-2.slh.1-sidux-686 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-2.slh.1-sidux-686(recovery mode)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 78e9c4d0-07fc-4846-bd24-d82afd0ca2be linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-2.slh.1-sidux-686 root=UUID=78e9c4d0-07fc-4846-bd24-d82afd0ca2be ro single vga=791 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-2.slh.1-sidux-686 } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 78e9c4d0-07fc-4846-bd24-d82afd0ca2be linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin } menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 78e9c4d0-07fc-4846-bd24-d82afd0ca2be linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin console=ttyS0,115200n8 } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)" { insmod ntfs set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a61820aa18207b85 drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
