Package: grub2 Version: 1.94+20060926-1 Severity: critical Hello,
with the previous grub1 I had a Debian GNU/Hurd entry in my menu.lst: ===== title Debian GNU/Hurd root (hd0,9) kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s10 module /hurd/ext2fs.static \ --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \ --host-priv-port=${host-port} \ --device-master-port=${device-port} \ --exec-server-task=${exec-task} \ -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume) module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create) boot ===== The first time I installed grub2 I "converted" that entry into the grub2 config menu: ===== menuentry "Debian GNU/Hurd" { set root=(hd0,9) multiboot /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s10 module /hurd/ext2fs.static \ --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \ --host-priv-port=${host-port} \ --device-master-port=${device-port} \ --exec-server-task=${exec-task} \ -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume) module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create) } ===== After a `grub-install /dev/hda` and a reboot, grub2 entered in a panic state at boot. Hopefully, the panic is reproducible, even on qemu: create the following stanza (you can substitute $ with a second { ): menuentry "test" { $ } The panic is similar to the error generated with a $ at the beginning of the grub.cfg file. While in the latter case grub2 can continue booting, in n the former case the only way to solve it is to boot with a rescue CD and remove the offending characters from grub2.cfg. Trying to escape \$ \{ and \} doesn't solve the problem.
