GRUB checks the geometry of connected hard disks when the system is booted. Sometimes, the BIOS returns inconsistent information and GRUB reports a GRUB Geom Error. If this is the case, use LILO or update the BIOS. Detailed information about the installation, configuration, and maintenance of LILO is available in the Support Database under the keyword LILO.
GRUB also returns this error message if Linux was installed on an additional hard disk that is not registered in the BIOS. stage1 of the boot loader is found and loaded correctly, but stage2 is not found. This problem can be remedied by registering the new hard disk in the BIOS.

BIOS setup is incorperated into your motherboard. it really is continually accessed through urgent the DEL (Delete) key at startup besides the very undeniable actuality that some laptop require a functionality key to get admission to the BIOS. I.E. - Dell's now and again use F11 it isn't relating to abode windows yet is equipped into the hardware itself.

Dear friend,
You are using AMD processor with 64 bit version so you need AMD 64 bit support kernel for linux. you need to change your 32 bit by default linux kernel to 64 bit supported kernel and its is in your Linux sourse CD.
Also, If you having problem to start or bootiing linux with AMD processor then you need some special string in GRUB. read manual for GRUB in Linux OS.
Good luck!!!!!!!

set the bios boot device priority:
Select the harddisk where you installled linux to boot linux...
Or set it to CD-Rom drive and boot from the rescue cd and read some turorials as to how you can install grub from there

I don't think there is relation between them.But you can Update your Bios using a hardware called BIOS PROGRAMMER.
And also you can update new BIOS using Your Mother board CD (if it is dual BIOS)
