I also ran into this on a Proliant and can confirm both the bug and
that the suggested patch does indeed fix it.  Given that
debian-installer uses grub-install, this will effectively break etch
installs on all HP Proliant servers.  It'd be very nice to get this
fixed for etch.  If you want me to upload an NMU, I'd be happy to do
so, just let me know.
