/etc/default/grub: 9: radeon.modeset=1: not found

Binary package hint: grub2

The message is not exactly the same as in another bug on this page but the versions are. Just installed Lucid Beta 1 and the first Update triggered this message.

1) Lucid Beta 1
2) could not find out version, error message packagename not found
3) Just running Update after Install of Beta-CD burnt from downloaded image. > 400 files were updated
4) the kernel image was (almost?) the last file that was updated. it triggered the error. I believe, the kernel was not updated.

This is due to a syntax error in the config file /etc/default/grub. Please correct it or if you don't know what to do attach the file /etc/default/grub to this report. Thanks in advance.
