Loading 2.6.20-grmlEBDA is big ... booting hangs

I'm installing grml 1.1 on an HP tc1100 tablet. The Hard drive has been replaced with a 12GB CF card (SanDisk Extreme III).
I stepped through the grml2hd process selecting all the defaults. When booting, after the splash screen, this message comes up and the machine hangs:
Loading 2.6.20-grmlEBDA is big; kernel setup stack overlaps LILO second stage
Any suggestions much appreciated.

grml 1.1 and kernel 2.6.20-grml? Are you sure about the version numbers?

Ah, that's a good clue!
On this CF card I'd previously installed grml 1.0, and must have installed the bootmanager into the MBR of /dev/hda. With grml 1.1, I installed the bootmanager into partition /dev/hda1. Re-running grml2hd & installing the bootmanager into the MBR solves the problem.
Thanks for the speedy response,
John
