OK, we have the following components that play a role:
- hardware
- BIOS
- GRUB
- kernel (?)
- user

Hardware works (brand new and tested), BIOS is from 2007 on an Asus 
M2N32-SLi Deluxe. I guess it is somewhat safe to count that out as well. 
User is always a possibility, but other than applying the updates I did 
not make any changes to the system. No new partitions, no removal of 
any, nothing other than the updates changed.

So, unless my list above is incomplete it doesn't really allow for much 
else other than GRUB/kernel or some mysterious force from above. So what 
is the next thing you tell me? Aliens abducted my system? ;)
