  so i guess you have something
  like a dedicated nfs root for your clients
  which you boot from a pxe loaded intird ? if
  so, just remove the
  grub-common package,
  then it should be fine ...

 Yes, this is the installation more or less.
 
 I'll try and find "grub-common" and remove it.
 Thank you.
 I do think that I took everything "grub*" away from the
 system.
 Oh well. I'll check again.
 
 Thank you ,

Oli,

I did it.
Got rid of grub-common. System asked for a re-boot.
I rebooted. However, now, I have to be physically there to
see what happened.

Looks like you were right though.

Thank you,
