Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
On three different Dell Inspiron 1545 (and 1546) systems, grub hangs
right after hand-off from PXE.
I've tried 'localboot 0', 'localboot 0x80', and 'localboot -1'. -1 seems
to work but only on the Inspiron 1546.
'localboot 5' was also attempted in case the issue was with how the PXE
stack was getting unloaded, but it doesn't seem to change behavior at
all.
When the systems are booted directly to the hard drive (either using F12
to boot to the hard drive directly, or escaping out of PXE before it
does boot off the network, grub loads normally and hands off to the
kernel without a hitch.
Installing grub with --debug-image=all yields no debugging information
whatsoever if booting using PXE. Behavior is normal if booted straight
to the hard drive (debug information is shown).
