 I picked up a refurb IBM

ServeRaid M1015 (aka: LSI 9220-8i) card. It arrived yesterday. Just have
to wait and see why grub doesn't like it.

When you find out, please let me know - I bought one via ebay, its
firmware was elderly and wouldn't let me put it in JBOD mode, after a
bit of googling I flashed it with IBM's latest firmware, then GRUB
thought my machine had no RAM in it. The card has been sitting in a box
since.

Yeah, GRUB immediately throws an "out of memory. Aborted" error, its annoying, 
but I reported the issue on GRUB's bug tracker after talking to a guy in #grub 
on freenode. Hopefully someone looks at it soon. It appears it happens so 
early in grub's startup that it can't even output any debug info (I was asked 
to run: `grub-install --debug-image=all /dev/sdX`, and did so, I get debug 
output when the card is not installed, but absolutely nothing when it is 
installed.

Cheers,

John.
