Hello!
I'm one of the managers of the list Andrew, so I'm the one who okayed
the posting. That being stated, was this the version of GRUB that
travels with the Ubuntu collection? Or did you obtain it from our
repository? I ask because the one that they provide could have been
tailored to work within their methods of managing Linux. I should also
add that the posting of your configuration file is also a good clue to
further generating some useful advice. Also not sending messages in
HTML is also helpful.

Subject: Weird Error 17 Message

Please excuse me if this is clearly spelt out in a FAQ somewhere but I
couldn't find it.

Basically I have 2 PATA hard drives and one Sata hard drive. hda, hdb
and sda respectively. I have ubuntu installed on hdb and windows xp on
hda. Sda is for storage. Okay so when I install ubuntu and go to
restart for the first time it hangs on stage 1.5 with an error 17. No
amount of reinstalling grub helps it. In desperation I unplugged my
sata drive and lo and behold it booted up fine. Is there any reason it
might do this? Is there some way to make it work with the sata drive
attached? 

If I haven't provided enough information please email me.
