Jordan Uggla pointed out on #grml that it's working for him with grub 1.98 compiled from source. Instead of working around I'd prefer to see this bug fixed in Grub. I've just updated templates/boot/grub/ to the most recent Grub2 version from Debian/unstable and also added support for "${kernelopts}" (what a lovely idea! :)): http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=commit;h=07ca6d5 The daily ISOs (http://daily.grml.org/) by tomorrow (2010-06-26) will include this update. Would be great to get know whether this fixes your issue. regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
