it does exactaly the same thing as this

Code:

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.
