Control: severity -1 grave
Raising to grave since:
* grub-pc doesn't let me install GRUB (I assume the new version)
while this was normally needed.
* The change in config.dat seems to imply that GRUB changed the
configuration in my back.

After doing <Ok>, I got another message, and the only thing I could
do was to continue without installing GRUB (otherwise, I was sent
back to the above message). The config.dat file changed in the
following way, which seems wrong:
