Replaced the 60GB HD drive on an old gateway laptop, then installed 9.10 full disk. Got this error. By deleting the search line in the grub (as explained above) I was able to boot. I considered upgrading the BIOS, but since I don't have windows on this machine it seemed t0o complicated for my simple brain. I booted on a "gparted" cd, shrunk the root to about 120GB, then created another partition to fill the unallocated area. When I rebooted everything worked fine. I still have access to the whole drive, but the new partition has to be mounted to use. no big deal. My mom, who is getting this computer, will never fill the first partition anyway
