Comment 5 for bug 256578

Thank you for trying Bhavani,
 Can you try the the 1.96+20080831-1 from experimental grub2 (1.96+20080831-1) experimental; urgency=low

   * New SVN snapshot.
    - patches/00_fix_double_prefix.diff: Remove (merged). (Closes: #487565)
    - patches/00_getline.diff: Remove (merged). (Closes: #493289)
    - Handle errors in RAID/LVM scan routine (rather than letting the upper
      layer cope with them). (Closes: #494501, #495049)
    - patches/901_linux_coreboot.diff: Remove (replaced).
    - Add support for GFXMODE variable (Closes: #493106)
    - Skips /dev/.* in grub-probe. (Closes: #486624)
    - RAID code has various fixes. (Closes: #496573)
    - Buffered file read is now used to read the background image faster.
      (Closes: #490584)

   * We are already using LZMA, because upstream includes it's own lzma encoder,
     so drop completely the liblzo handling in control and rules files.

   [ Felix Zielcke ]
   * Remove the 1.95 partition numbering transition debconf warning
     from grub2 package and removed it from all languages (*.po).
     (Closes: #493744)
   * Add a comment for the new GFXMODE in default/grub.
   * debian/rules:
       - Remove 2 ./configure options which it didn't understand.
       - New grub-mkelfimage belongs to grub-common.
   * debian/control:
       - Change debhelper compat level to 7 and build depend on it >= 7.
       - Remove ${misc:Depend} dependency on all packages except grub-pc which is
         the only one using debconf.
       - Replace deprecated ${Source-Version} with ${source:Version} for <<
         dependency and with ${build:Version} for = ones.
       - Remove versioned dependency of Build-Depends patchutils and cdbs,
         because etch has newer versions then the one used.
       - Remove dpkg-dev completely from Build-Depends because it's
         build-essentail and a non versioned dependency results in a lintian error.
       - Remove Conflict/Replaces pupa, it has been removed from Debian 2004.
       - Change build-dependency of unifont-bin to unifont (>= 1:5.1.20080820),
