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. > Why do you install grub 2 when given a choice during installation of > 10.04? Grub2 is the preferred bootloader because it's the only one for which upstream development is ongoing. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
