i updated from the old unstable to the new unstable during the last
stable release... everything went smooth except the grub 2.00 update...
after reboot it ended up showing the worthless grub rescue console...
so i downgraded grub to 1.99 from stable... yesterday i tried again with
the same results...
i haven't tried installing unstable from scratch yet... but i guess it
will work then so it would be pointless to do that...
it is bad when linux stops working before the kernel was even loaded...
so i advice to ditch grub in favor of lilo since it does nothing much
except what it is supposed to do... it doesn't even troll users with a
worthless rescue console that doesn't rescue shit...
The *only* situation I would consider installing lilo instead of grub is when
building an embedded system. lilo is too primitive and too hard to configure,
grub has so many features! I love it!
you are clearly talking out of your ass... a boot loader doesn't need
features other than loading the kernel...
what crucial work do you do with the features of grub? spreadsheets?
presentations? project managing? or do you play it like a text adventure
figuring out what the grub rescue console actually does?
*primitive is the best thing about lilo*... if you don't realize that
then you don't care if a part as stupid as the boot loader doesn't
work... because you have alternatives to linux..
