Which grml-version?
What's the output of 'which su'?
What's inside /etc/sudoers?
Does running '/bin/su' instead of 'su' help?

You didn't deactivate config-dhcp within grml2hd.
Just set CONFIG_DHCP to 'no' in /etc/grml/autoconfig now.

This package is b0rken :-/ (and got removed for grml's new release
therefore), see my bugreport against the Debian package:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=401579

Try running 'rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/open-iscsi.prerm ; apt-get
install' - this should fix your problem.
