[olug] GRUB Eror 18 -- Hangs

[Bill Eberly]

I'm guessing its on an older computer? Older BIOSes can only access up to a
certain block on the HD during boot. Easiest solution is to reinstall, and
repartition with /boot at the first 128 megs of the drive, then the
remainder of the space for / and any other partitions.
