Bug#544822: unaligned pointer/out of range with gfxterm and ATI

Hello,

please see also the bug report on launchpad for Ubuntu 9.10:

<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/424503>

The bug seems to affect ATI cards only. I have a Thinkpad T43 with an
ATI MOBILITY /ATI RADEON X300 (1002:5460 PCI ID) and it shows the same
error. Disabling terminal gfxterm in /etc/grub/grub.cfg fixes it
temporarily ?

BTW: Is there any way to edit the grub.cfg from the grub2 console? I
     can view it with "cat" but I couldn't find any means in grub2
     console to edit it.

This bug is really annoying, I hope it will be fixed soon !


Adrian
