[Bug 1851311] Re: Grub 2.04 Out of memory error, No server error

[pino]

Isn't there at least some workaround, e.g. downgrading grub? I urgently
need to work around it somehow. If it isn't at least possible to get
such things fixed early, Ubuntu is maybe the wrong distribution for real
usage...

What additional information do you need? I can even reproduce it easily
in my VMs...

Title:
  Grub 2.04 Out of memory error, No server error

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Trying to loop mount ISO.

  Installed grub 2.04 to flash drive in UEFI mode from 19.10
  Flash drive does not boot and gives Out of memory error & no server error. Must load kernel first.

  Re-installed grub from 18.04 to same flash drive using same boot stanza.
  Booted without issue.

  From 18.04
  fred at Bionic-Z170N:~$ grub-install -V
  grub-install (GRUB) 2.02-2ubuntu8.13

  from 19.10
  fred at fred-Z170N-eoan:~$ grub-install -V
  grub-install (GRUB) 2.04-1ubuntu12

  Boot stanza that works in 2.02 but not in 2.04

  menuentry "Focal Live ISO" {
  set isofile="/ISO/focal-desktop-amd64.iso"
  loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile
      linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile toram noeject
      initrd (loop)/casper/initrd
  }
