Man...I well know that the upgrade was done when Adept did its thing and 
not afterwards during the shutdown. What I am saying is that BEFORE the 
upgrade, I had no problems with grub. After the upgrade I have continual 
problems with grub. Something in the updates has introduced a bug is 
what I am getting at. I cannot think of another reason since 
reinstalling grub from the LiveCD gets me into the installed Jaunty so 
grub/bios/cylinder 1024+ cannot be the issue. Otherwise, I should have 
got a problem after installation and be forced to put /boot in its own 
partition.
