     linux    /backtrack/boot/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper persistent

     initrd    /backtrack/boot/initrd.gz
}

it does exactaly the same thing as this

menuentry "BackTrack Persistent" {
     set gfxpayload=1024x768

     linux    /backtrack/boot/vmlinuz
     initrd    /backtrack/boot/initrd.gz

     }

It apperars Grub is not passing parameters for some reason.
I have installed grub to the MBR of my flash drive using the command

$grub-install --root-directory='/media/Cox'  /dev/sdb

When I use grub legacy it works fine.

Please avoid HTML messages.
Could you retest with latest upstream. If it persists can you send us
