That's no evidence at all that the problem is grub. You also failed
to mention which kernels you are seeing this with.
I saw that show up with several recent kernels. Oddly, it was also
inconsistent. Sometimes the same kernel that failed as above would then
successfully boot on the next try. Anyhow, I think I did see some
discussion about that. Check the archives. The latest kernel (1268)
seems to have solved the problem for me.
