It is not a requirement that you use Grub 2 (grub-pc), but if you remove the
bootloader that was selected at install time in favor of another, you have
to *configure* that bootloader for use.  This wasn't done, so the grub hook
can't do its job when a new kernel is installed and the only sensible action
is to fail out.

Grub2 is the preferred bootloader because it's the only one for which
upstream development is ongoing.
