Furthermore, = there =20 isn't enough out there on google to be helpful yet. My experience with =20= grub2 was not good. I had a menu.lst that beeped and had a serial =20 console configured. I lost both when I switched to grub2. I think this =20= is a serious bug because when you install grub2, it leaves old grub on =20= the system and you're supposed to type some command to switch to grub2 =20= if grub2 is working. Well, I couldn't tell if grub2 was working. I =20 switched to grub2 anyway and fortunately, my machine did boot. But it =20= was an act of faith.
