I bought a new server with SuperMicro X7SPA-HF-O motherboard that has a
Intel Atom™ D510 CPU.

I tried to install the grub-common and grub-pc packages you so kindly
created but they are not working for me because the platform is different.

# wget
http://people.debian.org/~formorer/grub2/grub-common_1.98+20100804-4~bpo50+1_amd64.deb

# dpkg -i grub-common_1.98+20100804-4~bpo50+1_amd64.deb
dpkg: error processing grub-common_1.98+20100804-4~bpo50+1_amd64.deb
(--install):
 package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 grub-common_1.98+20100804-4~bpo50+1_amd64.deb

Would it be possible to provide an other package for grub2?

With kind regards,
