Bug#564936: grub-pc: unexpectable reboot

[Vladmimir Stavrinov]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20100110-1
Severity: normal

This latest version of grub make this system unbootable, because it reboot
every time the loader started just before grub menu going to be displayed.
To boot this system I was compelled to install grub from live cd.
There are no such problem with 1.98~20100107-1
