Bug#605615: grub-pc: Error in catalan translation that makes system unbootable

[Benjamí Villoslada]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-10
Severity: important

System boots again when I changed these messages:

echo    'S'''està carregant el Linux 2.6.34-1-686 ...'
to
echo    'Carregant el Linux 2.6.34-1-686 ...'

echo    'S'\''està carregant la ramdisk inicial ...'
to
echo    'Carregant la ramdisk inicial ...'

Before this, the system doesn't boots with "Unrecognized token", "Syntax error" and "Incorrect command" Grub errors.

Best regards.
