Follow-up Comment #4, bug #26954 (project grub):
I'm also seeing this problem right now on a 1GB USB stick with lots of space
available. I'm using 1.97~beta3-1 on a debian squeeze system:
0 pip:~# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdc
grub-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit
in it.
grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in
this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its
use is discouraged.
grub-setup: error: Cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly
