I plainly have no idea what to do.
Join the club,
Grub, I was happy with, Grub2 on the other hand, is a clusterfsck POS that works, its wonders to perform...on all my desktops, but I'll be fscked if I'll have it on my servers. Too much 'black magic' hidden in way too many bloody config files..and I've gotten to the point on the desktops that if it works, I don't go poking the sleeping bear.
As to these config files, back in the day I used to program in APL (necessity, not choice...well, admittedly some choice.) I'd rather go back and program in APL than try figure out WTF is going on in some of these config files, hell, I'd rather go back and do some SPARC assembly than fiddle with them.
