It could be that your entry for Linux points to the wrong place. (and
thus grub is exec'ing nonsence and rebooting)

Examine your entry (by editing it as apposed to booting it from the grub
UI) - check it's right. The fact you get this problem when booting from
floppy too could mean a couple of things:

1) You persistantly get it wrong (sorry, that sounds really harsh!)
2) The kernel installed is not compatible with your CPU and is exec'ing
an instruction that's thus plain invalid.  Does your distribution offer
options on which type of kernel it's installed?
3) Grub's buggered! That version is just buggy on your CPU/Mb/Combo
(seeing some of this, actually, on a distribution I am writing
currently) - boot from rescue CD and see if there's a package upgrade.
