Please show us your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and /boot/grub/menu.lst. Also, are there any relevant error (like firmware bugs) in system log after a successful boot? Other than that, you report suggets a BIOS/firmware bug.

Those are the relevant files you requested. I do not believe I have any logs from it anymore. I switched to grub2-bios. I do not encounter the problem using grub2. I do believe you are correct tho that it is BIOS/firmware bug, hardware related, or a limitation of grub.

Is this still a bug with "core/grub 0.97-20" ? Or if this is something that has been solved by using grub2 then this bug report can be closed since this may not be solved in grub-legacy (dead upstream for grub-legacy).
