[SOLVED] Grub Loadingread Error

Hi everybody, sometimes I got a "grub loadingread error", it's something random, after some reboots I can access normally to the kernel and so on. I used to have the Grub Loading 1.5 stage error in grub so I upgraded to grub2 because I read that there is no stage 1.5 in the new one but I see that this weird error remains just with a different name.

My fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information
