That was the problem with grub installation done by anaconda and is the reason why you can see GRUB but it does not continue on because its installation point both instances of grub stage1 to a disk. For that reason, you have to manually tell grub to install stage1 with instructions to look for the stage2 part that is on the same disk where the stage1 part is installed for >= RHEL4 systems.
