I tried grub-install.  grub-install always ended with a seg-fault and
no change to booting.  I didn't try that "dd" trick--it didn't show up
on my searches, only the grub-install trick.  Does that work with
grub2?

I have yet to see an advantage to grub2.  It still feels like going
back to the bad old days of lilo.

I always back up /etc/ before upgrading.  A cron job is probably a better idea.

Thanks,
