I have uploaded preliminary test packages containing the patch kindly 
provided by Eric Sandeen, built for amd64 and i386 on current Debian/ sid.

	http://sidux.com/slh/grub/grub_0.97-43~svnr866.1_i386.deb
Based on current pkg-grub svn (r866), diff to svn HEAD and the updated 
ext3_256byte_inode.diff attached.
