[Bug 396564] Re: grub2 shows 'biosdisk read error', then boots

[Haute Subzero]

I can confirm this on my jaunty to karmic upgrade as well.  I did a
network upgrade of a clean jaunty base (ssh only) installation.  I'm
getting the same error booting from a valid mirror set via the chainload
option recommended here:

http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-upgrade-to-grub2-on-ubuntu-
jaunty.html

I'm also seeing a ", bss=0x0" entry being output before the Starting...
message.  Its also odd but fdisk is complaining that neither device has
a valid partition table.  Related?  Not sure how you get to that state
or if it's related to me using Rieser on that system, but things boot
OK.
