Bug#558661: Grub hangs when AHCI is activated, but only after a Windows crash

[Nicolas DEGAND]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97+20091125-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

while booting Windows 7, I suffered a power failure. When I booted again, it hanged indefinitely on the screen before the menu screen.

If I turn off AHCI in the BIOS, it works again. It may be related to bug #550702, but that bug does not seem to be related to AHCI.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte EX58-UD4P .
