What it sounds like is a misconfigured grub setup but that is easy to fix.
Just boot with the livecd and mount the partitions as you did to install,
chroot into the system and edit the grub file and correct it.
If you have further problems, post your partitioning setup and your grub
config and one of the grub experts will be able to help you out.
