Bug#594967: grub-pc: GRUB Hangs After "Welcome to GRUB!"

[David A. Greene]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-2
Severity: critical
Tags: d-i
Justification: breaks the whole system

This problem originally happened when upgrading an old Squeeze installation.
I do not know how long the problem has existed.  Doing a fresh install from the
very latest testing images does not solve the problem.

On an Acer Aspire One AO751h, GRUB fails to boot.  It hangs at "Welcome to GRUB!"
and a Ctl-Alt-Del does not reboot the machine.  I have tried multiple installation
methods and partitioning schemes with no luck.
