Bug#629635: grub-pc: on reboot grub hangs at floppy detect

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99~rc1-13
Severity: minor


On an ASUSS M3A78-CM motherboard with SATA drives a floppy booting after a completely fresh power-up (e.g. power-supply turned off) work properly, however a reboot, or shutdown but not complete powercycle (via back-of-computer power supply on-off switch), GRUB reboots at the point where floppy drive detection occurs, and on the subsquent reboot hangs at that same spot.  Doing a total powercycle fixes the problem.
