Ok.

Seems you're mixing bootoptions for grml2hd with interactive mode:

> [*] grml2hd partition=/dev/hdc1 mbr=/dev/hdc filesystem=ext2 \
>        user=keeling root=/dev/hdc1

You seem to be running this command in the shell, right?  Of course
it won't work then, because you specified 'partition=/dev/hdc1' as
your partition instead of just '/dev/hdc1'.

'partition=/dev/ice' is relevant only for automated installation of
grml2hd, see 'man grml2hd'.
