[poky] How to pull grub2

[v sailaja]

Hi,

I just pulled the grub_1.99.bb in poky and built it for "*fishriver"*machine.
I am trying to install the image on* "Gigabyte"* machine, but it is promting
an error while installing.

*ERROR:*
*
*
*/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: This msdos-style partition label hal no
post-MBR gap; embedding won't be possible!*
*/usr/sbin/grub-setup:warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be
installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blockclists area
UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..*
*/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error:will not proceed with blocklilsts.*
*Installtion image failed.*
sh: can't access tty; job control truned off


Please tell me is there anything I need to modify the bb file ?
Does grub2 work fine with fishriver machine?
