Title:
  Maverick 10.10 server does not boot on IBM x3650 M2

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Problem:
    The 10.10 server RC cd does not boot on my IBM x3650 M2 server.

  How to reproduce:
    Burn the Maverick amd64 server Release Candidate image to a CD. Insert the cd on the cd-rom drive of a IBM x3650 M2, boot the server from the cd.
    A black grub window will show up, instead of the ubuntu language choice menu. Clicking on the "install" option will display the message "error: cannot allocate protected mode pages" "you need to load the kernel first" (screenshots attached)

  Further information:
    The 10.04 server cd worked fine on this machine when I took the same steps.
    I booted a desktop with the same cd and checked it for defects. No problems found.
    I checked the md5sum of the image
    (released 2010-10-01, 79401d63a2d87fe8a92f39c1f50581fc *ubuntu-10.10-rc-server-amd64.iso)
    I found something on http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg15081.html, this bug may be related with grub and EFI.
