The mother board is an asus A7V266-E.
The HD (I got the problem on both of them) where one recent 160 GB Maxtor,
one older Western Digital (40 GB).
The GRUB which worked is this one http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/grub
(0.91)
I tested it by putting in on a floppy (something which didn't work with
the Ubuntu version with exactly the same symptom: a message displayed
slowlier than from the HD -- I think it was Phase2 or something similar
-- then the screen clear).
As 0.91 worked from the floppy, I copied the files in the /boot/grub directory of
Ubuntu and reissued the installation commands (from memory, I had doc visiable at
that time)
root (hd0,2)
setup (hd0,2)
exit
(BTW, I tried to install the Ubuntu grub manually with the same commands
and that didn't work).
