Bug#540572: After moving to grub-pc memtest86+ does not launch.

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090725-1
Severity: normal


After moving to grub-pc, memtest86+ does not launch. I tried patch from
bug report #539907 but it still does not launch: 'error: file not found'. 

But the patch from #539907 does fix this:

Warning: update-grub_lib is deprecated use grub-mkconfig_lib instead

And also changes 'linux' to 'linux16'

A patch will be submitted shortly, that includes the fixes from #539907 and
a fix for this issue. Will report back once it's submitted.
