I've updated grub in this morning to version 0.95+cvs20040624-7.0.0.1.pure64
from debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org, and tried to boot up an initrd kernel
afterwards with the following result:

Last time the result was same as above, so patch didn't help for me :-(
I'm able to boot any kernel without initrd with grub.
I'll gladly test any further version of grub.
Thanks,
