Well, I think it would be good to take a look at this, because it
might be something easy to fix in your script but for the time being
it does not work with Grub2, and Grub2 is becoming standard on all
newer distros. But that's just my $0.02.

I've seen the same problem running qemu that I apt-get in my Debian
distro. It's buggy qemu. When I compiled from the source it started
working.
