[Bug 885651] [NEW] fresh install of ubuntu-server fails to boot

[Christian Schlittchen]

Public bug reported:

A fresh install of Ubuntu Server 11.10 x64 fails to boot on several IBM
x3650M3. The grub error message is "error: invalid arch independent ELF
magic". I've tried numerous tips (booting a live-cd and reinstalling
grub, mucking around with efi...) on the net regarding this error, but
to no avail. Ubuntu 11.04 does install and boot on the machines.

** Affects: grub (Ubuntu)
