You didn't tell us anything about your GRUB. Even though I've written
the same thing both in README and in the web page, many users seems
not to read "Reporting bugs" in the manual, so I quote this from it:
Reporting bugs
**************
When you encounter any problem or bug, please submit it to
<address@hidden> with information about your computer and what you
did _as much as possible_. Take a look at this list before you send
e-mail to the address:
* Write what you did and what messages were printed on the screen in
detail. Don't paraphrase them. Please describe them as they were.
* Explain what you wanted to do. It is very useful to know your
purpose and your wish, and how GRUB didn't satisfy you.
* Inform us of the information about your GRUB. What version were you
using? Which were you using the grub shell or the boot images? If
using the grub shell, tell us what operating system was used to
run it. And, if you ran `configure' with some options when
building GRUB, it would be a good thing to let us know how to
build it.
* The information on your hardware is also essential. These are
especially important: the geometries and the partition tables of
your hard disk drives and your BIOS.
* Write down anything that you think might be related. If you are
not sure whether to state a fact or leave it out, state it!
Reporting too many things is quite better than omitting an
important thing.
Please understand that bad bug reports take maintainers' time
unnecessarily.
Thanks,
Okuji
