Fails. Same as above for terminal_output.gfxterm and vbetest, but
vbeinfo actually prints something with this version, the infamous
"unaligned pointer" message, before crashing and rebooting. Right
before the reboot I see another message "No operating system found"
that I think comes from the Thinkpad BIOS, not grub.
