This is a real problem. Could somebody solve this:

after booting with grub legacy:

cat /proc/cmdline

.. .. .. acpi_osi="!Windows 2006" .. .. ..

after booting with grub2:

.. .. .. acpi_osi=!Windows 2006 .. .. ..


And, yes, in /etc/default/grub it is pased as:

acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2006\"

and even when i enter it with:

acpi_osi=\\\\\\\"!Windows 2006\\\\\\\"

it does not work

the only way what works is, after grub2 is started, pres 'e' (to edit)
and change the comandline by hand from

.. .. .. acpi_osi="!Windows 2006" .. .. .. ..

to

.. .. .. acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2006\" .. .. .. ..

(the '\' key is directly left beside the 'Enter'-key)

But at kleast a workaround to get in (Don't forget it has to reboot
twice before it works)
