[opensuse] Grub Error 21

I have just upgraded a PC for a colleague, who, after much badgering and
encouragement, conceded to have a dual boot install of OpenSUSE 10.3
on a second drive. Installed XP Pro on hd0, no problem. Created a FAT32 partition on hd1 using 50% of the disk capacity, leaving remainder unallocated for Linux partitions. Booted to the 10.3 installation DVD and the install to hd1, including on-line updates, went perfectly, until the first reboot, where I get:
GRUB Loading stage1.5
Grub loading, please wait...
Error 21
At which point everything grinds to a standstill.
Restart from the installation DVD and finalize the installation via the
"Other Options -> Boot Installed System" option. Then I can log in to a
fully operational KDE desktop, where everything appears to be working
perfectly.
The GRUB files read:
/boot/grub/device.map
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
/boot/grub/menu.lst

Have checked the BIOS and hardware jumpers are set correctly.
I have never experienced any GRUB issues with any previous installs, consequently I have not had reason to educate myself about GRUB configuration. I have unsuccessfully searched for and tried a few Googled suggestions. I need to get this machine back to my colleague soon and I would hate to hand it back as a Windows only box.
Can any of you folks here help me out with this?
TIA
Dave
