This error s returned if the sanity checks on the integrity of the

@item 6 : Bad or corrupt version of stage1/stage2
@item 6 : Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2
This error is returned if the install command is pointed to incompatible

in general, but this is a sanity check on the version numbers, which

1MB boundary. The Linux zImage format is a special case and can be
handled since it has a fixed loading address and maximum size.
@item 8 : Cannot boot without kernel loaded
@item 8 : Kernel must be loaded before booting
This error is returned if GRUB is told to execute the boot sequence
without having a kernel to start.

such a limit.

@item 19 : Must load Linux kernel before initrd
@item 19 : Linux kernel must be loaded before initrd
This error is returned if the initrd command is used before loading a
Linux kernel. Similar to the above error, it only makes sense in that
case anyway.
@item 20 : Must load Multiboot kernel before modules
@item 20 : Multiboot kernel must be loaded before modules
This error is returned if the module load command is used before loading
a Multiboot kernel. It only makes sense in this case anyway, as GRUB has
