Bug#567040: 915resolution module prevents grub2 from booting

[Matthias Berndt]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20100115-1

Hi,
i'm running Debian on my netbook, a Point of View Mobii. lspci says the following about the graphics chipset:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

In order to get a console at the native resolution of the display (1024x600), grub2's 915resolution is required. However, if i execute the commands

insmod 915resolution
915resolution 5c 1024 600

in a grub2 shell and try to boot, it'll fail. The system hangs after the message "loading initial ram disk..."
