I just installed a [SAS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Attached_SCSI)/[SATA 3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA#SATA_revision_3.0_(6_Gbit/s,_600_MB/s,_Serial_ATA-600)) controller (IBM M1015) and now I am unable to boot the system (GRUB 2 bootloader).

The last boot messages I see are:

```
Verifying DMI Pool Data .................
.
out of memory
Aborted. Press any key to exit...

```

I booted a Fedora 20 live CD (with all current updates installed), mounted my main LVM sysimage, and tried to reinstall GRUB 2:

```
mkdir /x
mount /dev/fedora/root /x
grub2-install --root-directory=/x /dev/sda

```

which finishes with reported success.

But at boot it still fails with the before mentioned "out of memory error.

I also tried to add `vmalloc=256m` to the GRUB default cmd-line and updated GRUB 2 with `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2` (of course booting the system without the controller installed).

How can I fix this problem?
