If you need grub, take care, the last upgrade (17-18 Nov.) killed grub here on Sarge (no, not SID !). Somehow grub doesn't get activated any longer at boot and the PC boots directly off MBR (so I guess). I checked the /boot/grub/menu.lst; everything fine and there. At boot, grub doesn't come up

Subject says it. Did my daily dose of upgrade, rebooted, and now XMMS doesn't want to play. At 'play' it keeps at 0:00, but active. Another click on 'play' makes it freeze. It can only be removed with kill then. It uses esd as output plugin; esd works and is running. Yesterday it had been fine.
