How far do you get? Does the kernel get booted? Where is the Linux
partition situated on the disk? Any loader you are going to use is going
to have to be able to see the kernel (and any files it has to chain-load)
in the first 1023 cylinders.

If you run 'geometry (hd0)' at the GRUB prompt, what do you get?
