Bug#551319: [grub] grub: crashes frequently on boot

[Tobias Frost]

I retried this weekend and so far it looks quite good:
It happended only one time that Grub did not manage to  load itself, 
(this one time it just rebooted, so could be something different as
well)

So, also considering that it seems only my machine (type) which is/was
affected, I think it would be appropiate to close this issue.
