Grub Problem, Hardware or User error

[Klainn]

I didn't see this specific thing in the grub error sticky so I thought I'd get your opinions.

Recently I had the power in my house flip off and back on quickly. It didn't reset clocks, and didn't turn off TV but what it did do was power off my gentoo box and now one of the two harddrives in there are clicking. It's dead and RMA'd. The other drive that the OS was on tested fine with the HD Diag software but when I attempted to boot it back up the screen fills with GRUB GRUB GRUB ... you get the picture.

I reinstalled everything this morning and same effect, Grub just fills the screen. I am RMA'ing this drive as well but I was wondering if you all thought it might be the drive or possibly the IDE controller. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hmm...I vaguely remember about a year or so ago that I encountered a problem similar, if not just, to this. Of course I was running in a dual boot environment(Win2K/Gentoo). I resolved it by running MBRFIX.
