Re-installed Hardy recently with the same problem. "GRUB" is shown on the screen, but does not go to stage 2.
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#install states:
Several buggy BIOSes don't pass a booting drive properly when booting from a hard disk drive. Therefore, you will unfortunately have to specify the option d, whether your Stage2 resides at the booting drive or not, if you have such a BIOS.

Since upstream knows about this and user's report matches upstream description (which blames it on buggy bioses), my best determination is that this bug belongs to the ubuntu installer instead of grub. Upstream seems to be saying this is "Can't Fix", but perhaps the installer could handle these special cases? I'm moving the package for this bug to casper, the installer system. If an installer guru knows better, please change the assignment accordingly. The bug reporter is right - this could be a disheartening install experience for someone with one of these bioses. |

Experts in #ubuntu-bugs tell me that this is better placed in ubiquity. |

This is not a bug in ubiquity. I'm not sure who told you that this would be better placed on ubiquity, but it definitely belongs on grub-installer. |
