Hi Ole: I would try using lilo and see if it goes - grub can some times be tricky to get going.
It seems that you are using SystemConfigurator - I would strongly recommend you upgrading to 2.2.2 if you haven't already done so. Is this x86 OS? Just to be sure, after modifying the autoinstallscript.conf, you need to re-run mkautoinstallscript to generate a new master script - you did do that, right?
