Regular old GRUB was having difficulties (alright, /I/ was having
difficulties) with my several HD, many OS setup and I had lost a couple
of my Linuxen.  Therefore, I bit the bullet and upgraded to GRUB2.
It's the best thing I ever did for my box.  GRUB2 picked up all my
old installations and allowed me to sort them and recover a lot of hard
drive space, then just recognized the changes on the next boot.

Sweet.  That's what progress is all about.
