;__I'm having the same problem, but I'm not using RAID or anything...__:
From all the research I've done, it seems like problems of this sort are always caused by grub.conf mistakes. Mine seemed to be OK though, but I was still seeing problems. I noticed that when I ran
setup (hd0)
at the grub prompt, it mentioned a file called menu.lst . I renamed grub.conf to menu.lst, and things are now working! Apparently there may be multiple default filename possibilities for the GRUB menu file.

+Don't rename grub.conf - make a symbolic link from grub.conf->menu.lst (man ln)
!!! During kernel bootup
!! "ESR value before enabling vector: 0000002"
My machine (kernel 2.4.21) hung after printing this. (Athlon 2000 XP on an AD77 motherboard (KT400)). It is caused by [APIC] support in the kernel. Booting with the "noapic" kernel flag didn't fix it (although it made the machine go into an infinite loop printing an error about apic on cpu 0). Recompiling the kernel without APIC support resolved this.
