Grub failing to boot after installing 0.95+cvs20040624-17ubuntu5

[Sami Haahtinen]

After installing the latest grub (0.95+cvs20040624-17ubuntu5) grub fails to
boot. The only thing on screen is "GRUB ". This bug appears to be similar to
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13910 but in this case grub is
apparently installed correctly. (mark as dupe if this turns out to be the same
issue.)

Some info about the system:
 - GRUB installed on /dev/hda
 - /boot and / are on the same partition (hda2)
 - WinXP on hda1
 - IDE HD, WinXP set Bootable in partition table, not that it should make any
difference (tried setting / bootable)
 - Computer is a Dell Latitude laptop with A15 bios

I'll provide more info when i know what to provide.

I have a similar experience, i installed it in the right spot (grub-install
/dev/hda) as has worked previously.

And I simply get "GRUB " on reboot, ctrl+alt+delete is functional so it doesn't
hard lock.

60GB HDD on ide0 master here, 6GB / with boot on it, 6GB windows then a 48GB
home and 512M swap

It's worth noting the first partiton, my 6GB primary is /dev/hda4 as it was
created last, my second partition (second in order on disk) is hda1, then hda2
and hda3.
