Question Stuck in Boot Loop - Meego v1.2


Well, figures that the day after I fix my WiFi on my Gateway LT4008U to work in Meego, I come across a new issue. Normally, when I boot my computer, it goes through the normal process of showing me a Gateway logo with boot options and setup, then flashing some text about "SYSLINUX by <insert name I can't remember here>" for a split second and then right into the bootloader. However, now it's stopping at the SYSLINUX text and restarts itself after a few seconds. This will continually happen until I force it to turn off. This time, the loop would continue even after I turned the computer back on.

I have since gotten out of the loop by booting to my USB Windows 7 stick and fixing the MBR. I also uninstalled Meego for now. What is causing this issue? It actually happened once before but it fixed itself by I forced a shut down and then restarted. Hard to use this netbook with Meego if it won't even boot into anything.
