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.
