Comment 3 for bug 408699

looks as if our grub (the part (kern) in the mbr) does not have grub_zalloc . this was included on Thu, 2009-07-16 at 17:53 +0200 by Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko. without this, grub cannot load any other modules: insmod /grub/help.mod at example will fail.

i will try to reinstall grub2 on the mbr. maybe this will just work out then :)
