Bug#561294: core.img is unusually large, grub-pc fails to install grub mbr

[Miguel Landaeta]

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.
