Yeah, my initial patch to GRUB (the one we are using now) was more a
proof of concept, also to make the LiveCD creation easier, so it's a
bit hackish and needs polishing and it's missing some features, like
general module loading and arbitrary variable passing. I've to finish
to port the latest util-linux, and I'll hack on GRUB after that.
Robert and me are going to some conferences starting today and will
have time to hack on the port. So expect some major progress this
week. =)

Maybe some missconfiguration ?
