Summary:  Installation on a compact flash card appears to work fine, but on 
boot I get 'GRUB GRUB'

Original Submission:  I have a system with three hard disks, (hda, hdb and 
hdd), and a 128MB compact flash disk, (hdc), with C/H/S 978/8/32, (detected as 
that by both the BIOS and the kernel).



Using linux kernel 2.4.22, booting from hdd, I created a type  0x83 partition 
on the compact flash, using the full size of the disk.  I then formatted it 
with ext2, copied a minimal linux system to it, chrooted to the partition, and 
ran grub.



I issed the commands:



root (hdc,0)

setup (hdc)



Which executed ok, (grub.conf and the relevant stages are in /boot/grub).



However when I boot the compact flash by selecting hdd2 in the bios, (being the 
third disk), I simply get 'GRUB GRUB' printed to the screen, and no more.



I tried booting with the kernel parameter 'hdc=flash', then installing grub, 
but to no avail.



I have had grub running find on this same compact flash in this same 
motherboard, with a different linux kernel/system utils/grub version, (0.92 I 
think), before.



Can anyone point out what's going wrong?
