Bug#555842: System Unable To Boot --- unaligned pointer 0x12404

[Brian Paterni]

Package: grub2
Version: 1.97+experimental.20091111-1


Error message:
unaligned pointer 0x12404
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
--------------------------------------------------------------

This repeats until I insert some other bootable media and started 
happening when I upgraded to 1.97+experimental.20091111-1. I've tried 
reinstalling grub2 1.97 from an Ubuntu liveCD, but that doesn't seem to 
fix the problem.
