I too have been on the amd64 platform since early last year, and am still using grub-static, although I know that grub now compiles fine for this platform (at least, that is what I've heard - I'm still using grub-static). But whether one uses grub or grub-static, the installed files are the same, and grub works the same regardless of which is chosen. My grub.conf has not changed from when I was using Athlon XP's (although it's no longer called grub.lst).

Hi, shall I try 'emerge unmerge grub' and 'emerge grub-static'? Then 'install-grub' to start the system using the static ver/

This seems v. promising.
