Grub fails when moving HD to a new computer

[rescondio]

Amazing.

I tried to install a new FC3 in this "new" computer... and after installing it I got EXACTLY the same error when rebooting.. so I begun to think it maybe cause of the computer  :)

FYI, the computer is a Compaq EVO D510, wich has a very small format, at expenses of no having neither HD, nor PS/2 ports (only USB) and can not install a second HD.

It seems that other ppl had the same troubles I had, see

so.. deninitely this computer does something fancy with grub.

Solution (just in case someone else will have the same troubles in the future):

1.- Boot "linux rescue" with FC3 disc 1

2.- #chroot /mnt/sysimage

3.- I downoaded lilo from

# wget http://dag.wieers.com/packages/lilo/lilo-22.6-1.1.fc3.test.i386.rpm

4.- installed it 

# rpm -ivh lilo-22.6-1.1.fc3.test.i386.rpm
# cp -p /etc/lilo.conf.anaconda /etc/lilo.conf

5.- change linear to lba32 on lilo.conf 

6.- #lilo -v -v

7.- Reboot and ready :)

Thank you very much all for your help !!!
