means a disk could not be accessed, or found, or was not properly
reported by the bios. from info grub

21 : Selected disk does not exist
     This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full
     file name refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or
     not recognized by the BIOS in the system.

properly on booting. could be just a transient error, but more likely
the very beginnings of a hardware problem with a hard-drick controller
or a disk itself.
