This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 2.00-3ubuntu1

---------------
grub2 (2.00-3ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #1046890).  Remaining changes:
    - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options ("quiet splash").
    - Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
    - Set a monochromatic theme and an appropriate background for Ubuntu.
    - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script.
    - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf.
    - Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string.
    - Add crashkernel option.
    - Bypass menu unless other OSes are installed or Shift is pressed.
    - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
    - Reduce visual clutter in normal mode.
    - Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration.
    - Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode.
    - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed.
    - Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu.
    - Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down.
    - Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts.
    - Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale-langpack first.
    - Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
    - Check hardware support before using gfxpayload=keep.
    - Set vt.handoff=7 for smooth handoff to kernel graphical mode.
    - In recovery mode, add nomodeset to the Linux kernel arguments, and
      remove the 'set gfxpayload=keep' command.
    - Skip Windows os-prober entries on Wubi systems, and suppress the menu
      by default if those are the only other-OS entries.
    - Handle probing striped DM-RAID devices.
    - Replace 'single' by 'recovery' when friendly-recovery is installed.
    - Disable cursor as early as possible in grub_main.
    - Avoid getting confused by inaccessible loop device backing paths.
  * Apply patch from Fedora to forbid insmod on UEFI secure boot.

grub2 (2.00-3) experimental; urgency=low

  * Use dh-autoreconf.
  * Bail out if trying to run grub-mkconfig during upgrade to 2.00 (e.g.
    while configuring a kernel image), since the old /etc/grub.d/00_header
    conffile breaks until such time as grub-common is configured.

grub2 (2.00-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Add -Wno-error=unused-result to HOST_CFLAGS for the moment, since at
    least grub-core/lib/crypto.c fails to compile on Ubuntu otherwise.
  * Update default/grub.md5sum to include Ubuntu maverick's default md5sum.
  * Autogenerate packaging files for grub-emu, in order that its postinst
    does not contain unexpanded @PACKAGE@ symbols.
  * Only try to install efiemu*.o into grub-emu on *-i386.

grub2 (2.00-1) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Jordi Mallach, Colin Watson ]
  * New upstream release.
    - Add LUKS and GELI encrypted disk support (closes: #463107).
    - Lazy scanning to avoid accessing devices which aren't really used.
      This avoids boot delay due to slow device scanning (closes: #549905,
      #550015, #550083, #564252, #595059, #632408).
    - Don't override more informative errors when loading kernel/initrd
      (closes: #551630).
    - Support 4K-sector NTFS (closes: #567728).
    - Unify grub-mkrescue interface on powerpc with that on other
      architectures (closes: #570119).
    - Fix infinite recursion in gettext when translation fails (closes:
      #611537, #612454, #616487, #619618, #626853, #643608).
    - Add more missing quotes to grub-mkconfig (closes: #612417).
    - Import gnulib change to fix argp_help segfault with help filter
      (closes: #612692).
    - Support %1$d syntax in grub_printf (closes: #630647).
    - Use write-combining MTRR to speed up video with buggy BIOSes (closes:
      #630926).
    - Remove multiboot header from PXE images to avoid confusing ipxe
      (closes: #635877).
    - Fix crash when attempting to install to a non-BIOS disk (closes:
      #637208).
    - Fix handling of grub-mkrescue --xorriso= option (closes: #646788).
    - Use umask rather than chmod to create grub.cfg.new to avoid insecure
      grub.cfg (closes: #654599).
    - Improve font installation logic (closes: #654645).
    - Add grub-probe info documentation (closes: #666031).
    - Don't crash on canonicalize_file_name failure in grub-probe (closes:
      #677211).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Adjust debian/watch to point to xz-compressed tarballs.
  * debian/grub.d/05_debian_theme: Source grub-mkconfig_lib from
    /usr/share/grub, not the /usr/lib/grub compatibility link.
  * Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt).  Developers, note that patches are
    stored applied in bzr; you may want to 'quilt pop -a' / 'quilt push -a'
    around merges.
  * Remove pointless debian/grub-mount-udeb.install.hurd-i386;
    grub-mount-udeb is not built on the Hurd.
  * Refactor debian/grub-common.install.hurd-i386 into .in files so that it
    imposes less of a maintenance burden.
  * Restore grub-mkdevicemap for now.  While it's kind of a mess, requiring
    lots of OS-specific code to iterate over all possible devices, we use it
    in a number of scripts to discover devices and reimplementing those in
    terms of something else would be very complicated.
  * Add grub-efi-ia64-bin and grub-efi-ia64 packages.  These are currently
    experimental, and grub-efi-ia64 does not automatically run grub-install.
  * Build-depend on gcc-4.6-multilib on kfreebsd-i386 and hurd-i386 as well
    as the other i386 architectures, since we need it to build efiemu32.o
    and efiemu64.o.
  * Add per-platform *-dbg packages containing files needed to use GRUB's
    GDB stub.  These are relatively large and thus worth splitting out.
  * Build-depend on ttf-dejavu-core for the starfield theme.
  * Add a grub-theme-starfield package containing the starfield theme.
  * Backport from upstream:
    - Don't decrease efi_mmap_size (LP: #1046429).
  * grub-common Suggests: console-setup for grub-kbdcomp (closes: #686815).
  * Silence error messages when translations are unavailable.
  * Don't pass *.module to dpkg-shlibdeps, avoiding lots of build-time
    warnings.
  * Move transitional package to Section: oldlibs.
  * Acknowledge NMU (closes: #676609).

  [ Debconf translations ]
  * Lithuanian (Rimas Kudelis).  Closes: #675628
  * Galician (Jorge Barreiro).  Closes: #677389
  * Welsh (Daffyd Tomos).
  * Greek (galaxico).  Closes: #685201
  * Romanian (Andrei POPESCU).  Closes: #685477
  * Finnish (Timo Jyrinki).

grub2 (1.99-22.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Apply upstream patches for hurd-i386:
    - Test inode number (Closes: #634799).
    - Disable zfs code on GNU/Hurd (Closes: #670069).
    - Add userland partition support (Closes: #670186).
  * Fix packages build without libfuse (Closes: #670189).

Title:
  include patch to resolve bug where grub2 cannot boot Dell PowerEdge
  12G systems in UEFI mode

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “grub2” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We (Dell) would like grub2 patched in Quantal so that it is able to
  boot using grub2 on Dell PowerEdge 12G systems that are in UEFI mode.

  In May, we reported this bug in Precise's version of grub2 (although
  our patch has not yet been included in an update of grub2 for
  Precise). See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1001009>.
  We provided a patch that works against grub2_1.99-21ubuntu3 as well as
  one that applies against version 2.00. I've included the one for 1.99.
  It has not yet been included in the grub2 package for Quantal.
