Bug#567469: grub2: Latest grub makes my laptop unbotable (xfs)

[Marco Nenciarini]

Package: grub2
Version: 1.98~20100128-1
Severity: normal


After last grub2 upgrade my laptop was failing to boot. 
To be able to boot again I've had to boot with a rescue cd
and run 

grub-install --modules=xfs "(hd0)"
