GRUB incompatibility with my hardware or partition table? |

Hello All,
I am trying to install grub on my system without success. Here follows what i
done.
grub> geometry (hd0)
drive 0x80: C/H/S = 59560/16/63, The number of sectors = 60036480, /dev/hda
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 2, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
Partition num: 3, Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 4, Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
Ok ,the "fdisk -l /dev/hda" output ;
# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 59560 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 27 13576+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 30713 59560 14539392 5 Extended
/dev/hda3 28 319 147168 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda4 320 30712 15318072 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 30713 59560 14539360+ 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
hda1 is mounted as /boot, hda4 as /, hda5 as /home and hda5 is a logical
partitition (reiserfs) and hda4, hda1 primarys.
When I try to install grub as follows :
grub-install --root-directory=/boot '(hd0)'
And the instalation succed and the grub images files get copied to
/boot/boot/grub, /boot/grub is a symbolic link to /boot/boot/grub, BUT when
the system boots grub hangs up saying GRUB unlimited times.
I have tryed to install grub in a floppy (grub-install '(fd0)') and when I
boot the system GRUB says :
GRUB Geom error
--------
NOTE : cat /proc/ide/hda/geometry
physical 16383/16/63
logical 59560/16/63
---------
¿Can anybody say me what i am doing wrong?
My hardware specifications :
K7 Athlon 1 GHz
Asus motherboard (A7A266) with the last bios update (v. 1009)
IBM ATA100 30 Gb HD (model IBM-DTLA-307030)
256 RAM DDR
...
...
And my system is :
Debian GNU/Linux Woody
kernel 2.2.19 with reiserfs support.
GRUB 0.90
the /etc/fstab file:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/hda4 / reiserfs defaults,notail 0 1
/dev/hda5 /home reiserfs defaults,notail 0 2
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
I have try to install grub manually and no errors reported but GRUB hangs up
the same maner.
I can only boot my system with the boot floppy with lilo.
Thanks in advance,
