[Bug 1073653] [NEW] GRUB won't load

[Kalsan]

Public bug reported:

I installed Grub-Customizer on my system. Don't know if that is the cause for my problem.
On next reboot, GRUB won't load: A blinking white cursor on black background appears on the top left corner on the screen. It keeps blinking forever, no change. I can only boot using superGRUBdisk. update-grub reports no errors. Running grub-install says:
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: Warnung: Ihr Einbettungsbereich ist ungewöhnlich klein. core.img würde nicht hineinpassen..
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: Warnung: Einbettung ist nicht möglich. GRUB kann in dieser Konfiguration nur mittels Blocklisten installiert werden. Blocklisten sind allerdings UNZUVERLÄSSIG und deren Verwendung wird daher nicht empfohlen..
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: Fehler: mit Blocklisten wird nicht fortgesetzt.

[Google Translate]:
/ usr / sbin / grub-bios-setup: Warning: Your embedding area is unusually small. core.img would not fit ..
/ usr / sbin / grub-bios-setup: warning: embedding is not possible. GRUB can be installed in this configuration only using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is not recommended ..
/ usr / sbin / grub-bios-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
