Thanks, this fixed the problem in my case.

Details: a single 500 GB SATA disk with the system manufacturer's Vista 
on the first partition, resized to make space for a reiserfs partition 
further behind with Gentoo.  I had GRUB 0.97-r4 working before, but when 
upgrading to 0.97-r5, the problem appeared and could not be fixed by 
downgrading.
