grub (0.97-29ubuntu51) jaunty; urgency=low
[ Colin Watson ]
* more_scsi_disks.diff: Add support for up to 256 SCSI disk devices on
Linux (LP: #335174). Due to BIOS disk numbering only at most 128 can be
bootable,
Colin built me a stage2 with this fix, which I installed (remember to
grub-install) and tested. Works well here.

The bug occurs because ext4 can have inodes > 128 bytes and grub is
assuming that inodes are 128 bytes in size.

This is from a mkfs.ext4 on a 4MB logical partition and then copying one
file to it:

debugfs ls /boot gives me:

1256
Debugging this we have found that grub is getting the block numbers
wrong.
vmlinuz-2.6.28-8-generic is the older good kerne, grub block dumpl:
(hd0,0)402243640+96,402243744+6661
vmlinux-2.6.28-11-generic is the new broken kernel, grub block dump:
(hd0,0)1546320+8,32+8,4096+8,402255872+8
