error 17 hang up with reiser+scsi

[Stefano Zacchiroli]

I'm using grub distributed in debian woody, the package version is
0.5.96.1.cvs20010530-6, with binutils 2.11.90.0.7, a linux kernel 2.4.5,
a SCSI disk beyond an adaptec AHA7xxx controller and reiserfs filesystem
on it.
grub-install works well but when I try to boot, grub hangs after saying
"Loading stage 1.5" and (two blank lines after) "Error 17".
If I try the same installing grub on an IDE disk and booting from it,
all works well.

Is this a known issue?

TIA,
cheers.
