This is clearly a configuration issue. Therefore, in order to be
able to diagnose it, we'll need to know your configuration. Please
let us know what filesystems are on what partitions. Also, (although
I don't think that this is the problem here) make sure that your
/boot directory is on a partition that is entirely below the 1GB
mark. Make sure also that /boot is on a partition which can be
reached by the BIOS.
