no there is an lba option to give grub.
from grub-install manpage:
"--force-lba force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy BIOS"
from grub info docs:
"*Caution2:* A number of BIOSes don't return a correct LBA support
bitmap even if they do have the support. So GRUB provides a
solution to ignore the wrong bitmap, that is, the option
`--force-lba'. Don't use this option if you know that your BIOS doesn't
have LBA support."
