Should I file a bug report for this?
I've just switched to grub2 from grub on my workstation. To be precise, I've installed grub2 (which depends on grub-pc) and purged all the packages related to grub (grub-set-default, grub-splashimages and maybe others). At the configuration question I've answered "no" for the chainloading from grub-legacy. I've rebooted the machine to see if it works and the surprise was that the boot menu was the same, that is from grub-legacy instead of grub2 (with xen options too). The only explanation is that I should have run "grub-install (hd0)" to *really* switch to grub2, but why the menu.lst from grub-legacy was not removed on purge? The second step "update-grub" is already executed automatically at postinstall and it creates the grub.cfg file. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
