Sorry, the bug report is confusing. It's actually two bugs, the first being
a miscompiled stage2 causing an error when running grub-install and making
the system unbootable. I fixed that back in Sept. The second bug is a
continuous boot loop that only seems to manifest on certain machines or
configurations. This is the one I'm having trouble with. I should have
opened a new report for it, but at the time I thought it was due to fallout
from the first patch.
The biggest problem is that I can't reproduce it on either of my systems, so
I have no way of narrowing it down. FWIW, I did a comparison of /boot/grub/*
from a broken system and my own and they are byte-for-byte identical.
