I still get grub Error > 24: (this is also with a newer 2.6.36-3 kernel). So I'm stumped again. If you > have any other ideas, please let me know. I'm happy to test on this end.

Hmm, this could be a grub flaw then identifying the disk size wrong or getting an offset wrong to load data from. Did grub change with the kernel installed?
