allright. But trying to install the new mbr gives:

Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
Error 15: File not found
Of course, /boot/grub/stage1 is there.
So I'm stuck with a half installed grub and dare not reboot. I re-emerged
the last version to no avail.
Any practical advice before I re-emerge previous grub version?
emmm... I did nothing when I updated grub - and it just worked fine....
same here on two systems. Did a reboot to test before reinstalling grub.
I think the situation being warned about is one in which:
a) /boot filesystem is added or is remade as ext2/ext3 with inode_size=256
and
b) the failure to reinstall grub has left the old stages 1, (1.5), and 2 in
place in the MBR which will fail to handle the inode_size=256 file system.
