As has been mentioned in other threads, grub2 requires 2048 sectors at the start of the disk. If you were upgrading from a previous version, chances are your disk is not partitioned this way, but instead has only 63 sectors at the start of the disk. In this event, if you attempt to install grub2, or even just update its configuration, you get an "embedded area is too small" error. So I would guess you won't really be using grub2 until your disk has a large enough area for it.
Not exactly. This generally happens only with mdraid volumes. Without mdraid, grub2 should fit within 63 sectors, and one of my laptops was succesfully upgraded to F16+grub2, and everything got squeezed into the 63 sectors.
