Re: GRUB hangs

[grenoml]

Some more info.  I'm noticing that right as the GRUB message appears
that the system is trying to read from the floppy drive even though
there is no floppy in the drive and the hard drive light never lights. 
I compared this to another linux system using GRUB and the system boots
without trying to access the floppy.  It only accesses the hard drive. 
Now the question is why is it doing this?
