Comment 3 for bug 957622

a quick look at source from the above, and this appears to have been broken/influenced by commit for "multiboot: Fix bss segment support".

Some evidence to the validity of the multiboot image is here:
$ bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/multiboot
$ cd multiboot
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ ./util/mbchk grub-maverick-20100729.img
grub-maverick-20100729.img: The Multiboot header is found at the offset 604.
grub-maverick-20100729.img: Page alignment is turned off.
grub-maverick-20100729.img: Memory information is turned off.
grub-maverick-20100729.img: Address fields is turned on.
grub-maverick-20100729.img: All checks passed.
