Solution
According to airhead this can be caused by having your bios
detect your disks automatically. Try to set your bios entry to
User Type HDD.
Another possibility is that you had Grub installed on your MBR
and tried reinstalling it (for instance due to hard disk changes)
but used the wrong setup and root commands.
