error 18 on intel tx, maxtor 20g

[Marius Andreiana]

Hi

On a RedHat 9 system, with grub 0.93-4, having a 20gb hdd and intel tx
motherboard grub gives error 18 at boot. I use a floppy to boot it now. 
grub-install /dev/hda seems to be ok:

Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
                                                                                
# this device map was generated by anaconda
(fd0)     /dev/fd0
(hd0)     /dev/hda

The / partition has 5gb. LBA is enabled in BIOS.

I have found another mail with the same problem, no answer.

Any suggestions to make this work appreciated.

Thank you,
