Bug#568001: grub-pc: grub locks up the machine

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20100128-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
After choosing the chain load grub2 option in the old grub menu the grub2 screen
loads correctly. When I choose a kernel to load, the system locks up completely
and does not respond to Ctrl-Alt-Del. The messages loading kernel .... and
loading initrd ... appear and then in the upper right corner of the grub2
screen a horizontal line is drawn. Is there a way to make grub2 more verbose?
