Bug#570960: same bug

I haven't used Debian much yet,  I just did a brief install of Lenny a 
month ago but I'm guessing I am reporting this in an appropriate way.  I 
did a fresh install of the Feb. 16 squeeze CD 1 alongside Windows 2000 
on an old Gateway yesterday.  It went into that loop with Welcome to 
Grub followed by a reboot and so on and so on.

Then I thought I'd put xubuntu 9.10 on that partition temporarily.  But 
xubuntu wanted to install xubuntu beside windows and debian so I let 
it.  With this setup I was able to boot into debian as well as windows 
and xubuntu.  Something about your grub is wrong.

Hope this helps,

Don Tveter
