Thanks that you tried grub-emu first before reporting it.

The problem is that with some broken BIOSes the GRUB 2 LBA code doestn't
work. But for some people the code from GRUB Legacy would work.
With the alternative CHS which then gets used, you can only access the
first 8 GiB of a disk.
If you can find a BIOS update for your mainboard you could try if it
helps.
