I have had this same problem. I have XP on a Dell D810 laptop. (SATA controller) and I
installed Ubuntu Breezy. Everything was great at first (except for crashes when trying to
unhibernate) then I booted into XP and was installing a VPN client and the system slowly
froze. I powered off and when I tried to power back on I get the Dell BIOS screen followed by
a message flashing quickly, I think it says something about "stage 1_5" and then the Dell
BIOS screen again in an endless loop. I tried booting Knoppix and doing grub-install with no
luck.
boot is in the Ubuntu partition. Ubuntu is /dev/sda3 and in the grub map is referred to as hda
(0,2) not sure what else will help.
