Details:

Grub will fail to load when a ServeRaid M1015 (aka: LSI MegaRaid 9220) PCIe
card is installed. Without the card installed, grub loads, and boots the
machine just fine.

The GRUB output is as follows:


GRUB Loading.
Welcome to GRUB!   (this line is black on white)
                   (as is this one)
out of memory      (text is white on black, rest of line is black on white)
Aborted. Press any key to exit.


This is fully reproducible.

The machine has GRUB 1.99-14 installed (debian sid).

Installing grub with `grub-install --debug-image=all /dev/sda` did not give
any more output than it did with the stock image.

Added detail:
Machine has a Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard, Phenom II x4 810 cpu, 8GB
DDR3 ram, dinky fanless gpu, extra 10/100 NIC, and of course the SAS
controller, with 7 drives hooked up to it. System drive is /not/ on the SAS
controller. Root filesystem lives on ext4, over top LVM2, over md raid1, over
two Seagate 500G drives connected to the motherboard's built in SATA ports.

Please let me know if I've left anything out.
