[Bug 1033632] [NEW] Ubuntu 12.04 fails to boot on PowerEdge R720/R720XD when running in UEFI mode

[vlowther]

Public bug reported:

After installing vanilla Ubuntu 12.04 on a couple of PowerEdge R720 and
R720XD systems over the network, the freshly-installed system crashes
the EFI BIOS instead of booting to the operating system.  A quick Google
search yields that it appears to be an issue with how Grub is allocating
memory, and a patch for the issue has been posted at
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?36532

Switching go using legacy BIOS works, but is not an option due to its
limitations on usable space on the RAID volumes the OS is installed on.

** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
