Summary:  5GB Linux disk copied to 40GB disk - GRUB hangs

Original Submission:  I have four working versions of RedHat Linux 7.2 that use 
GRUB.  I needed additional disk size for an application.  I performed a copy 
from a 5GB disk to the 40GB disk using Symantec's Ghost tools.  Now the system 
will not boot.  It hangs on GRUB.  This problem sounds like one that I've had 
with LILO.  Any ideas?
Does GRUB utilize a configuration file to specify the hardware parameters?
