Summary:  Installation on a compact flash card appears to work fine, but on boot I get 
'GRUB GRUB'

Original Submission:  I have a system with three hard disks, (hda, hdb and hdd), and a 
128MB compact flash disk, (hdc), with C/H/S 978/8/32, (detected as that by both the 
BIOS and the kernel).



Using linux kernel 2.4.22, booting from hdd, I created a type  0x83 partition on the 
compact flash, using the full size of the disk.  I then formatted it with ext2, copied 
a minimal linux system to it, chrooted to the partition, and ran grub.



I issed the commands:



root (hdc,0)

setup (hdc)



Which executed ok, (grub.conf and the relevant stages are in /boot/grub).



However when I boot the compact flash by selecting hdd2 in the bios, (being the third 
disk), I simply get 'GRUB GRUB' printed to the screen, and no more.



I tried booting with the kernel parameter 'hdc=flash', then installing grub, but to no 
avail.



I have had grub running find on this same compact flash in this same motherboard, with 
a different linux kernel/system utils/grub version, (0.92 I think), before.



Can anyone point out what's going wrong?
