From 'info grub'

****
Hard Disk Error
     The stage2 or stage1.5 is being read from a hard disk, and the
     attempt to determine the size and geometry of the hard disk 
failed.

Check your BIOS settings that they properly reflect the hardware, 
especially that the drive order is correct. Also check the contents 
of /boot/grub/device.map, the order might be the wrong way round.

Also check that you really do have stage1_5 and stage2 files 
in /boot/grub/
