Lucid is no more a supported version; and grub legacy upstream is also
stopped, only receiving possible random fixes locally

Title:
Grub fails boot process with certain controllers present
Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: grub
Grub 1.98 fails boot process in a Dell Poweredge server with an extra PCI-X eSATA controller added.
Grub 1.97beta4 works(9.04 Karmic), boot process fails from both a Lucid install and an upgrade to Lucid from Karmic. It appears that for some reason the UUID is of the disk not visible during the boot process, but is visible once you are dropped to busybox in the initramfs.

I can grant remote access to this hardware if someone wants to take a
look at this.
This is what works:
grub 1.97 beta 4 on 9.10 from server install

This does NOT work - 10.04.2 grub 1.98 from 10.04 minimal install with updates during install (Note that I have forced a 10 second menu timeout in grub so I have an opportunity to edit the command line)
