After the first reboot, GRUB only writes: "GRUB Loading Stage1.5" "GRUB loading..." and after a second, the machine restarts, which results in an infinite loop. No menu is shown and the machine is unusable unless booting from DVD or USB. Hardware: ThinkPad T42 I had to repair the machine using openSUSE 11.1 DVD. Strangely reinstalling GRUB with default options from the repair tool did not resolve the problem. In the second attempt "Bootloader location" was set to all "MBR", "Root partition" and "Extended partition". Only after that GRUB started properly.
