I have experienced this problem on two different systems now.

Both systems were Copaq Deskpros with SCSI and IDE. Running grub under Linux (gentoo), the device mapping is IDE (hd0) and SCSI (hd1). Trying to boot grub from (hd1) on boot results in
the repeating "GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB ..." problem.

If I boot from a Grub floppy I see that the SCSI is now (hd0) and the IDE is (hd0). I can use the floppy to re-write Grub to the SCSI disk (using the new mapping). After boot, running grub again shows that the mapping has reverted.

You may contact me at joelmFOO <<at>> hp.com (remove the FOO).
