If the partition containing /boot crosses this limit the files land before or after the limit in seamingly random fashion. You can avoid this BIOS issue by having a separate /boot in the beginning of partition. GRUB can circumvent this problem by using its own drivers (you have to add --disk-module=ata to grub-install for this) > rescue>
