Can you post the output of:

carcharias rjf # cat  EOF | grub --batch

root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
EOF

Actually I have since resolved the problem... Sadly not with grub. After 
about 12 hours I just tried lilo, and it worked right away. I prefer 
grub but... :(


Here is the info I had gathered, if you spot anything suspicious let me 
know, i would rather use grub...

 Hello, I'm stumped here, so i'm open for suggestions.

 My system refuses to boot fully. What happens is it powers on, and i see
 a very quick flash that says something along the lines of Loading Grub
 Stage 1.5, and then a reboot. This just continues in a loop.

 In the past few days, I was upgrading glibc to 2.4 and also to gcc
 4.1.1. I was using the GCC upgrade guide. Everything went well until it
 was time to reboot. I did do an emerge -e world.

 I remerged grub, and used the grub console to reinstall. I have checked
 my grub.conf, it looks fine. It also does not have any trailing garbage
 (suggestion from others).

 I also recompiled and reinstalled my kernel, making sure it was compiled
 with gcc 4.1.1.

 Many times i got back in via chroot, and tried to reinstall grub, but to
 no avail. It sees the disks, it sees the partitions, it sees the
 filesystems.

 So I am not sure what to do next. I flung about 4 hours of time at this
 with no change.

 Any ideas?

Does this help?

Alternatively, please post the usual info:  fdisk -l, grub.conf, df -h and 
we'll take it from there.
