Is this during the initial installation of Debian and are you using
ext3? I had the same problem on the same hardware. When installing
Grub from the Debian installer, I got a similar error: boot/grub/
stage1 not read correctly. LILO wouldn't install either.
I found this thread http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/09/
msg00225.html. It doesn't actually identify a problem, but based on
the circumstances of the poster's problem, I decided to try ReiserFS
instead of ext3. Grub installed flawlessly.
I can't even begin to imagine why either bootloader would fail to
install on ext3 but not ReiserFS, but for me, that was the *only*
variable in the equation.
