sounds like "USB FDD" problem which is now documented in info manual. If the problem persists after following the relevant instructions please reopen the bug.
@ted: your problem has nothing to do with zakaria's one. Please open a separate bug report, I'll give you few versions to test

Moreover, I installed lilo and it does not suffer from this problem.

I also created a grub2 boot floppy and that boots without the CD drive as well.

I don't know if this is the same bug or if I should file a different bug report but on a Gateway Solo 9500, grub will load fine as long as the removable CD/DVD drive is plugged in. When it is not, the boot ends at the "grub loading" message. (This was also a problem with legacy grub and I installed grub2 to see if it would go away.) I'm sure for most purposes, this would not be a problem but my intension is to eventually dismantle the laptop to turn into a kiosk type device where a CD/DVD drive would produce excess heat and consume electricity unnecessarily.

Legacy grub boots fine off of a floppy.

I discovered a bug when i try booting ubuntu (fully installed, not a live edition) from an USB flash disk. It works perfectily on some machines. But, when i tried it on a machine that is has a MSI motherboard, it shows me, instead of a menu, "GRUB" and nothing happens.
