Follow-up Comment #1, bug #34979 (project grub):
This looks like your disk is bigger than your BIOS limit. You need either a
small /boot at the beginning of the disk or install with --disk-module=ata (if
disk is ide or in ide mode, ahci otherwise but ahci is less stable)

I tried first installing with the modules ata and ahci but for both I got an
error message. As this didn't work I parted the HDD this way:
/dev/sdb1 ext4 400.00 MiB /boot
/dev/sdb2 linux-swap 1.95
