June 2009; old thread. In October/November 2009, grub2 still had issues, especially with /boot, when creating grub.cfg. But it has been working well since for me (the only problem that I am still having is that the "Ubuntu version" does not create an initrd line for a Fedora/RHEL/Centos install; I have been meaning to install grub2 on my Fedora partition to see what happens there) on various boxes and for both Linux and Windows installs; on BIOS+MBR HDs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
