Thank you Matt :) 1. My fault not to backup grub.cfg or to switch to GRUB 1, resp. not to use GRUB 1 of my older Linux installs. 2. For the future I could backup grub.cfg or I should (have) read about GRUB 2 myself. So, okay, GRUB isn't that important, OTOH thank you for making it easier for me to keep the new GRUB. Anyway, I still wounder why GRUB does search for outdated GRUB 1 menu.lst's ;). Not the hint I was asking for, but OTOH a really good hint, because the new GRUB for sure will remove the old faithful GRUB.
