Hello I have exactly same behavior yesterday on this netbook. I suppose the problem is with the graphical mode which grub is trying to initialize. The graphics chipset is Poulsbo - it is even wrong handled by xorg (i mean out of the box) so maybe grub have also problems with it.
After installation i chroot again to the installed system and commented out line: GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub after this i of course did update-grub and voilla! - after reboot everything is ok :) graphical interface is ugly to me - i am preferring text-mode grub regards, -- Mariusz Białończyk jabber/e-mail: ma...@skyboo.net http://manio.skyboo.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
