Title:
  Boot fails on large GPT hard drive

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  I set up a VM (with VirtualBox 4.0.0 on WinXP) with a virtual disk of size 5 TB ( vboxmanage createhd --filename foo --size 5000000 )
  and 700 MB RAM. (rest is default settings for a Ubuntu guest OS).

  I installed ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso, choose to use the entire
  disk.

  On reboot, I get a grub rescue prompt.
  Is can see the partitions, but are some problems. See screenshot.

  If I start the CD in Try mode, I can mount the partition and the files
  are present, unlike in the grub listing.
