Bug#436113: grub2: Can not start memtest86+

[Hristo Hristov]

Package: grub2
Version: 1.95+20070626-1
Severity: important

When I try to run memtest86+ (ver 1.70-3) the computer restarts. With a previos
versions of grub-pc and memtest86+ was possible to boot memtest86+
If I remember correctly the workaround was to use the device name on
the linux line like this:
linux   (hd0,1)/boot/memtest86+.bin
Unofrtunately I do not keep the old working configuration.
