Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I'm actually using 1.96+20090808-1 right now, because otherwise, obviously, it
won't boot, so if that appears anywhere, that's why.
And yes, grub-common was running at 1.97 too.
Anyway, on to the problem.
out of range pointer 0xebc0
That's what it says after I select a kernel in grub. It does it for both 2.6.30
and 2.6.26.
Sorry I can't provide more info, dunno what else to say.
If you need any info, just tell me what to do. :P

Please try without gfxterm. Uncomment the `GRUB_TERMINAL=console' in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub. I've tried using the command line in grub. Whenever I type in a command, then press either enter or tab, it immediately shows out of range pointer 0xebc0. I'll try uncommenting that line as soon as I've got a shell on that computer. Yup, that's fixed it. Will I have to make sure in future that it's always uncommented? What's your graphic card? I THINK it's then ATI Radeon IGP 350M.

Thanks! Works for me. It boots my system in default configuration without problem. No unaligned pointer anywhere, or point out of range errors. Tab completion works correctly. Still grub uses text mode only.
