Please don't use those clever Unicode symbols which I have to squint to
read.  Normal ASCII digits should be just fine.

I don't know which "1" and "2" you're referring to.  Vladimir used those
numbers to refer to "menuentry inside if clause" (Grml will have to do
something else in its configuration file) and the uninitialised
multiboot pointer bug respectively.  I'd only have expected the latter
problem to result in an unaligned pointer, but perhaps I am mistaken.

In any case, it would be helpful if you could be more verbose.

As already explained by the automatic messages from the archive, the
uninitialised multiboot pointer bug should be fixed in unstable and
experimental.  It has not yet propagated to testing.  What package
version does Grml 2010.12 ship?
