[Bug 312310] [NEW] Grub2 version within Jaunty needs to be updated.

[Slug71]

Public bug reported:

The current version of Grub2 within Jaunty's repos  is an older one that
needs to be updated.

Jaunty current is 1.96-20080724
Current i believe is 1.96-20081201


Also a C/P from an Ubuntu Brainstorm idea ive made.

Would be nice if we had an Alternate ISO from either a upcoming Daily
Build or the next Alpha(3) with Grub2 as the default bootloader.

Theres no relatively new info or How-to's on the Bootloader. The only
info that seems to be around is related to older versions of Grub2 and
for older versions of the Distro. Therefore it makes it very risky for
testers to test it out as we have no idea whats been fixed and what
hasn't, whats still necessary and what isn't.

I know including Grub2 as default was discussed at UDS. I think the
easiest way for us to test it and see whats its behaviour is due to lack
of reasonably new info, is to do it from a fresh install where it is
default.

Im sure many or most people currently testing Jaunty and those that jump
on around Alpha 3/4 would download this ISO to give it a try and i think
that would be the best way to get it tested on a broader range of
systems than it currently is being tested on.
