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Anyway, I still wounder why GRUB does search for outdated GRUB 1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.

Thanx :)

Ralf
