Topic: GParted Live on HDD

Hello.
Debian Jessie, old notebook Asus F3JC, using guide http://gparted.org/livehd.php - copy content from *.zip to sda7, rename live dir and create /etc/grub.d/40_custom:

    menuentry "GParted live" {
      set root=(hd0,7)
      linux /live-hd/vmlinuz boot=live config union=overlay noswap noprompt vga=788 ip=frommedia live-media-path=/live-hd bootfrom=/dev/sda7  toram=filesystem.squashfs
      initrd /live-hd/initrd.img
    }

update-grub output:

serge@debian:~$ sudo update-grub2
Generating grub configuration file ...

/etc/grub.d/40_custom: 2: /etc/grub.d/40_custom: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Whats wrong?

Sorry about bad English.

Re: GParted Live on HDD

Very weird... I can _NOT_ reproduce the issue here. It works for me.
BTW, in the meantime I also updated the boot parameters on website. Some boot parameters have to be added.
