GRUB behaves like this when it can't read files from the CD/DVD, e.g. the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. What happens when you type "cat /" followed by a <TAB> characater after the slash, when your at the GRUB> prompt?

I guess there is some strange interaction between GRUB and your notebook's BIOS. Somehow the boot time BIOS calls from GRUB confuse the BIOS and the BIOS refuses to read from the CD/DVD at some point. This message posted from opensolaris.org
