Bug#390473: grub2: menuentry stanza doesn't accept $ { } in variable substitutions

[Robert Millan]

Hi,

Excuse me, because I've been a bit too harsh in this bug report.  I think I
missunderstood what you were requesting.

Empty variable name "$" is a syntax error, and AFAIK upstream doesn't intend
to change that, _however_, it should really fail more gracefuly instead of
infin loop :-)

I'll forward this information to upstream.

Wrt support for booting the Hurd, grub2 1.95+20070505-1 includes my update-grub
rewrite, which should produce a usable stanza to boot GNU Mach and the required
Hurd modules.  Please have a look at it and tell us if it works ok.
