Error 18 in Grub means exceeded max cylinder BIOS supports. 

To fix it, either:

Set your BIOS to use LBA (Logical Block Addressing) for the harddrive
you are booting from (or for all as it is reasonable).

Or:

If it is on already, or changes nothing, the cylinder number actually is
wrong (and something like changing geometry took place, of the config
tool went bonkers over your disk layout) and a tool like Partition Magic
(or graphical qparted or GNU parted for purists) will help you fix it.
