There are 32.5 kilobytes before the start of the first partition on a disk. So, you better repartition your disk to begin on the second cylinder or beyond there and you will gain more space to store your grub2 core.img there, OR the grub people find a way to compress the core.img in that tiny space at the beginning of the disk.
In order to setup full disk encryption with grub2 (grub2+luks+lvm2), I had to partition my boot disk in that way (my first partition begins at the second cylinder). BTW, in the beginning of the following howto (http://tech.xerces.com/full-system-encryption-for-linux.geek) there is a brief comment about this problem. -- Miguel Landaeta, miguel at miguel.cc secure email with PGP 0x7D8967E9 available at http://keyserver.pgp.com/ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." -- Nietzsche -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
