After the installation the first reboot hangs with the line: "GRUB 
Loading stage1.5". Nothing more happens. This is a Chiligreen AMD64 
Notebook. I try to install SuSE 9.2 on another parition and configure 
the "Suse" grub menu.lst file to boot the Ubuntu System. This works, the 
Ubuntu System boots without problems. Then i tried to install the grub 
with "grub-install /dev/hda" and got the following output (/dev/hda1 is 
ext3) and the next boot also fails with the same output.


------
Due to a bug in xfs_freeze, the following command might produce a 
segmentation
fault when /boot/grub is not in an XFS filesystem. This error is 
harmless and
can be ignored.
xfs_freeze: specified file ["/boot/grub"] is not on an XFS filesystem
/sbin/grub-install: line 516: 23615 Segmentation fault      $grub_shell 
--batch $no_floppy --device-map=$device_map  >$log_file <<EOF
root $root_drive
setup $force_lba --stage2=$grubdir/stage2 --prefix=$grub_prefix 
$install_drive
quit
EOF

Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

(hd0)    /dev/hda

I searched the Ubuntu Bugzilla and found one entry:
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5791

What could i do to fix this situation?


Best regards
