Hi,
I upgraded and then rebooted when I was half asleep and then GRUB gave me error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS. The system was working fine before this and I am NOT dual booting. I tried grub-install /dev/sda1 from install usb, but no luck. I followed a forum thread to ubuntuforums and went into the GRUB prompt and ran:
find /boot/grub/stage1
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
and then restarted. No luck.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

your boot folder needs to be located in the first partition or portion of your hard disk. repartition your hard disk to do this.

Actually, I only have the one partition. So that should satisfy your first partition condition, right? It had worked for 3 months before this.

Which packages did you upgrade? I upgraded after 2 months and now I also have problems with the booting process https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103270 and do not know where to start looking at to repair things.

No.
The boot sector must not be very big. Hence, you will need to repartition to have a boot partition and root partition.
