 The system remains unbootable. If you have an older version of grub
 available on CD or FD you can use this to boot the system. The latest
 version of grub is indeed missing the command initrd. This isn't
 documented anywhere and it seems as if this command was canceled
 in favour of some other idea. Because of missing docs I was not able
 to find out what new idea this was!

Please see bug 512787 and 497791.
The problem is the `search --fs-uuid' line.
It seems like an old version of grub2 had a bug in the parser which is
already fixed, but grub-install is not run automatically on an upgrade.
Which reportbug should normally tell you if you report a bug against
grub-pc.

Bug#514673: grub2: Command initrd not found

2009-02-09 Thread Thomas Schweikle
Package: grub2
Version: 1.96+20080724-14
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


grub starts, but then stops with the message command initrd not found.
The system remains unbootable. If you have an older version of grub
available on CD or FD you can use this to boot the system. The latest
version of grub is indeed missing the command initrd. This isn't
documented anywhere and it seems as if this command was canceled
in favour of some other idea. Because of missing docs I was not able
