Re-installed Hardy recently with the same problem. "GRUB" is shown on the screen, but does not go to stage 2.
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#install states: Several buggy BIOSes don't pass a booting drive properly when booting from a hard disk drive. Therefore, you will unfortunately have to specify the option d, whether your Stage2 resides at the booting drive or not, if you have such a BIOS. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Grub freezes on boot with just "Grub" text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99981 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
