Title:
  fresh install of ubuntu-server fails to boot

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
