You are using this from the booting command line (isolinux prompt),
right?

I assume you did provide "partition" and not "partion" as
bootoption, right? What's inside /etc/grml2hd/config on your system
when booting with "grml2hd ..."?

Huh, strange. Ok, I'll check that. Thanks.

"grml kernel module file" - hm?! Please provide the error message
you get when creating the initrd. In case you don't have that one
any more manually invoke:

# update-initramfs -u -t -k $(uname -r)

Sure. If you don't need an initrd just drop the initrd line in
/etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo manually.
