Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

I guess same bug as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/638945

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.
