Title:
  grub2 in lucid doesn't work in qemu with '-vga std'

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “grub2” source package in Lucid:
  Confirmed
Status in “grub2” source package in Maverick:
  Confirmed
Status in “grub2” source package in Natty:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  If you install a lucid VM in qemu (definately upstream version 0.14.0,
  I think also in natty's version), and run it with

  kvm -hda VM.img -vga std

  the VM refuses to boot, showing an error about 'out of range pointer
  0x80220000'.  Installing a 2.6.38 kernel does not help.  Installing
  grub DOES prevent this bug.

  A natty VM boots just fine.  RHEL, fedora, and SLES images boot fine.
