GRUB Configuration

I'm installing Arch on an HP Vectra with a single 4 GB Hard drive.  I edited the GRUB configuration file, and tried to boot the computer to Arch.  After the BIOS splash screen, the screen goes black, and then the word GRUB appears at the top left of the screen, and won't change from then on.  Is this an obvious problem? What am I doing wrong?

Re: GRUB Configuration

You may try lilo, first, and later replace it with grub.
