I don't know. I must admit that I haven't tested CHS mode with
hard disks for a while. Please give me more information. What is the
geometry of your drive? What partitions does it have? You should be
able to obtain most information by GRUB itself (but not the grub
shell) (e.g. the command "geometry") and a FDISK program.

You are welcome. :-)
Thanks,
