[Bug 492092] [NEW] [grub ver. 1.97] unbootable system - the system waiting with message "grub loading"

[Xtigyro]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

The system does not boot and hangs with the message "GRUB LOADING". It
cannot even be restarted with 'ctrl+alt+del' combination.

This bug occurs on my machine for the third time and after every one of them a fresh clean install was made.
The interesting thing is that the system boots normally several days without any problem and then without any obvious reason
this bug happens. I think that it happens mainly after booting windows (xp sp3 in my case) and then rebooting the machine.

The computer is:

Laptop
HP NX9420 rh450ea, ati MOBILITY x1600, Intel Core 2 Duo t7200, 3 GB ddr2 667 mhz
