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