Hmm, "GRUB" isn't very informative. That particular string should
only be printed once when the stage1 loader (the part that is
installed in your MBR) executes. If this is appearing multiple times,
my best guess is that your stage1 file in /boot/grub/ is corrupt, or
was somehow built incorrectly. You don't have "custom-cflags" in USE,
do you?
What does "equery check grub" and "md5sum /lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1
/boot/grub/stage1" report?
