Title:
  GRUB2 fails with certain memory configurations

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  I guess same bug as
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/638945

  If the low-memory in the area 0x90000 to 0x9A000 is not available
  GRUB2 fails.

  That area is increasingly being used by certain BIOS extensions (like
  FakeRAID BIOS).

  On systems with such configuration the only quick workaround is to use
  EXTLINUX - which does not have the same problem and seems to be able
  to check if memory is reserved before using it - but which requires a
  little more experience and work from the user.
