Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
I guess same bug as https:/
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.
