Hello, as I am not allowed to ask on the arch-dev-public list, I have to ask that here: ----- Forwarded message from Ronald van Haren <pressh@xxxxxxxxx> ----- Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 12:54:37 +0200 From: Ronald van Haren <pressh@xxxxxxxxx> To: Public mailing list for Arch Linux development <arch-dev-public@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [arch-dev-public] [newsitem] grub/grub2 Reply-To: Public mailing list for Arch Linux development <arch-dev-public@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi, I drafted a newsitem for when I'll kill GRUB legacy and move GRUB v2 to [core] in one of following days. Any comments/improvements are welcome! Ronald ##################################### GRUB legacy no longer supported GRUB 2.x has moved to [core]. With this move support for GRUB legacy (i.e. version 0.9x) is dropped, which is now moved to AUR. Although GRUB legacy will not be removed from your system and will stay fully functional, you should consider upgrading to GRUB version 2.x, or one of the other supported bootloaders. Please consult <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub";>the wiki</a> for detailed installation instructions for GRUB version 2.x. ##################################### ----- End forwarded message ----- What I do not understand is how much GRUB legacy is not supported anymore? It won't get removed from the system, but will I have to do any manual steps when updating the kernel or something like that? At the moment I don't see any reason for trying to install GRUB2 again, because last time it failed hard on my MacBook Pro.
