I've mostly seen behavior that resembles this when I've tried to load
boot-code from from an invalid place.  Depending on how picky your
BIOS is, and the exact configuration you're using, you should make
absolutely sure you've installed the boot-code where you think you're
installed it, that you're loading from where you think you've
installed it, and that you're trying to load it from a partition that
has been set as active.
