[Grub-support] Re: problem with client - Unrecognized parameter

[Kord C. <ko...@gr...>]

Robert,

The primary thing that tipped me off on what was going on is the
header "****START OF GRUB CLIENT****".  That header is not in
the current version of the client, nor are the errors presented
the same way.

I suspect that you are actually running an earlier version that
may be installed in /usr/local/bin/grubclient.  You can confirm
this by running a "grubclient -V" to see the version number.

You need to be running: grub-client-0.2.2

If you are running from the src directory, be sure to start it
by typing "./grubclient -v".

Hope this helps!

Thanks for running the client.

Kord
