Can't say much on grub2, beside I'm not aware of more issues with it compared to grub, and much less than with lilo. > Systemd is also hightly complex (call it "big'n'fat", despite of extra > dependencies), it's incompatible with init scripts and most importantly, it > did > not speed up any system on boot (only shutdown was somewhat faster, leaving > the > impression that it did not perform all required steps). I agree somewhat. It is the answer for the more complex systems today. I know of some engineers not loving it at first, now feeling they can take many advantages by the dependency system in it. >> If something doesn't work then I'd welcome SR opened.

Sometimes stuff has to change. For my own systems lilo would still be good, I'm used to grub meanwhile and can fix it when needed, grub2 I had no reason to dig into the details. Regarding systemd I have mixed feelings, mostly because I had not much time to dig into it and when I have to check something at boot it might be good to be in a home office, so none can hear me ... But it took me some time to master the old system-v init style, too. greetings Kai Dupke Senior Product Manager Server Product Line -- Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
