I also am an Arch user and took the chance tonight. In case you didn't pick up on it, the arch folks have a nice write-up in their wiki at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2 where a lot of warm-up instructions are available. It made me feel more comfortable with going for it. As it is, I had one goof where my box would not boot. I had to use Chris's talking install disk to boot my machine and correct the grub.cfg file. The default values do not include /boot in front of the kernal image nor the initram image. After fixing that, I'm all good now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAksQ4yAACgkQWSjv55S0LfFA4QCg+8DtW3t+e3tMrcQmyAyfel/D 32IAni00rg7+pH8hxlLUM9/guBPOxYiN =QVub -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
