As it turns out, setting the BIOS option "CPU Internal Cache" to "Disabled" will let grub-pc 2.02~beta2-19 run and the system can boot normally, albeit very slowly. With no cache, uncompressing the Linux kernel image takes almost two minutes. Re-enabling the cache causes grub to reboot again. grub-rescue-pc from Wheezy (1.99-27+deb7u2) and LILO work as expected even with the CPU-internal cache enabled. The BIOS also has a "CPU External Cache" option, but disabling that doesn't improve anything. The mainboard doesn't actually have any CPU "external" cache. Not sure what that refers to.
