Bug#544639: out of range pointer 0xebc0

[Timur Mazid]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


I'm actually using 1.96+20090808-1 right now, because otherwise, obviously, it won't boot, so if that appears anywhere, that's why.
And yes, grub-common was running at 1.97 too.

Anyway, on to the problem.

"out of range pointer 0xebc0"

That's what it says after I select a kernel in grub. It does it for both 2.6.30 and 2.6.26.

Sorry I can't provide more info, dunno what else to say.

If you need any info, just tell me what to do. :P
