Message from grub2-install

[Michael D. Setzer II]

This is the message that is returned when trying to install grub2 
on a system that actually already is running grub2 on a Fedora 16 
machine that was upgrade.

#grub2-install --recheck /dev/sda
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small.  
core.img won't fit in it..
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can 
only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, 
blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/sbin/grub2-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

On some machines, where I moved the first partition from 63 to 
2048 the process runs with no error. In looking at the hex code of 
the process it seems to be the regular mbr, but then it is followed 
by the core.img file after that?
