Xeno,

You must be psychic!  At this very moment I am installing Fedora 12 on
my lap top and just switched on the desktop while I'm waiting.

I have had no end of problems with grub 2 on my dual disk, multi
partition system so had reverted to grub 1 until the bugs were fixed.

Ubuntu's last 9.10 updates contained a new kernel which I installed.  I
chose to the installers grub config file thinking it would just  update
the grub 2 files; a bad mistake.  Now it can't see Grub1 so I think it
wrote over the MBR!!!   I should have backed it up, as I have on the
desktop, but I didn't.  The MBR already pointed to my 9.10 partition so
I thought the stage 2 files would know the kernel location and it
wouldn't need to update the MBR for the new kernel.

Ubuntu spends too much time on innovation and not enough on getting the
foundations to work.  10.04 is billed as being the low innovation
version  but there is not much sign of getting the fundamentals right
yet.  Still 4 months to go!
