Could you try booting from external media and execute
"ls -l"
It should give you the total size in blocks as seen through BIOS.
Also how is this disk accessed? PATA or AHCI? If first you can install
GRUB with --disk-module=ata. If second, then you can do the same with
--disk-module=ahci but only in experimental. Beware that AHCI in GRUB is
alpha-quality right now.
