Bug#544822: grub-pc: out of range pointer 0x8080810 with r128 graphics card

[Jonathan Nieder]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta1-1

Dear GRUB team,

At the sh:grub prompt, I run:

| > insmod gfxterm
| > insmod vbe
| > videotest

This produces output:

| error: No suitable mode found.

That is not too worrying.  Afterwards, I run:

| > lsmod
| > loadfont /boot/grub/unicode.pf2

This usually produces much more worrying output:

| out of range pointer 0x8080810

Sometimes that message is in response to the lsmod, sometimes the loadfont.

This series of commands was devised to try to figure out a problem booting
with GRUB_TERMINAL=console not commented.  The out of range pointer was
different then, so that was probably a different bug, but this one looks
more debuggable anyway.  Any tips?

Thanks,
Jonathan
