info grub, Troubleshooting, Stage2 errors:

| 18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
|      This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block
|      address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally
|      happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for
|      (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general).


Create a separate /boot partition somewhere near the begingining of your 
hard disk.
