do not use grub, so i can not reply, other than, join bug-grub mail
list and you will see why i use lilo... ;)

boot lm8.1 cd, at start screen, press 'f1' function, at command line
text prompt, enter 'rescue', press enter.

after boot, at command line;

  mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
  cd /mnt/etc
  ls -l lilo*

if lilo.conf,

  less lilo.conf

verify hda1 is boot, rest of file is correct.

  /mnt/sbin/lilo

note response is correct.

while in '/etc',

  cat fstab

for correct.

  shutdown -r now

no more grub errors...

btw. 'all caps' is considered shouting. ;)
