I'm running grub-2 on three systems. Old grub used to get confused between IDE and SATA disks, and would never find my boot disk, add you always had the off by 1 issue ( hd(0,1) -> /dev/(h|s)da1 ). grub 2 seems to work like a charm. Transition was a PITA though...
on three systems, two would not boot correctly, and neither was running 2.6.31. I patched it up manually, and, post transition. Everything is ticketyboo.
