Details:

I have been searching today why my menuentry was not working.
I was receivent unaligned pointer 0x8 after choosing my menuentry.
I finally found that it was because I had put initrd line before
the linux line.

I believed it would be better if initrd was able to complain that no linux
command was used yet, rather than give the cryptic unaligned pointer error.
