[ale] GRUB issue on boot

[Ryan Fish]

Google isn't leading me anywhere on this issue so any help is greatly appreciated.

- I have removed the last kernel that was installed just in case something with it was corrupt.
- I have reinstalled grub
- grub.conf looks fine when compared to another box

I still have "GRUB" scrolling across the screen endlessly though...

The logs don't show any errors on shutdown when I rebooted the box in the 5A hour today.

I have never seen this before and am completely stuck at the moment...

Thank you
-Ryan
