Bug#513592: grub-pc: Unknown command: initrd

[Olaf van der Spek]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-14
Severity: normal

Hi,

I ran into something comparable to 497791.
A grub-install 'fixed' it. 

> On i386-pc, the grub package never updates the installed version of GRUB
automatically

I didn't see this line until I filed this bug. How am I supposed to know this and why doesn't it do this automatically?

Greetings,

Olaf
