the scenario:
a friend of mine just give me an acer easystore h340 NAS which is running 
windows home server.
he would like to have ubuntu running on it so i said i'll do it for him.
i installed the neccessary hardware to get the integrated graphic card working 
and the installation just runs fine.

the problem:
after installing, i rebooted, and everything works as expected.
then, i shutdown the box to watch some tv... after a few minutes i wanted to 
change some configs and install some services but i just received: 
Grub loading.
error: out of disk
grub rescue> ls 
(hd0) (hd0,3) (hd0,1) (hd1)
error: no such disk
grub rescue> set
prefix=(hd0,1)/grub
root=hd0,1
grub rescue> ls /
error: out of disk

what i did:
so i read some howto's from other peoples (eg blogs) where they say that 9.04 
just runs fine, out of the box
so i installed 9.04, made an extra partition for /boot in the first 1gb, 
restarted and it works 
then i turned the NAS off and what happens? grub error 18
i installed 10.04 beta because is thought maybe its a bug which has been fixed 
in the new release.
the same grub rescue has been showed after a shutdown...

the strange thing is that it works as long as i dont power off the NAS
and i have no idea whats going on
