This is not a bug but a feature.  The same holds true for md5sums (and
even crypt) hashes in /etc/shadow.  The sense behind that is that the
admin should not be able to check that two users have the same
passwords. 

 The encrypted passwords are not working with the  password --md5
 MD5-PASSWORD option in the /boot/grub/menu.1st file.
This is not a very detailed description.  If you want further help send
your non-working menu.lst and the password that you used to generate the
md5sum.

If your problem is solved in the meantime, please close the bug.

Best regards
Uwe

Package: grub
Version: 0.95

grub-md5-crypt creates different MD5 keys of the same password.  The 
encrypted passwords are not working with the  password --md5 
MD5-PASSWORD option in the /boot/grub/menu.1st file.


I am using Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, kernel 2.4.27-2-686
