According to Thomas Bächler:
Let me also express part of my personal opinion, which others might disagree with: If you wanted high quality software, why did you install GRUB? If you want a decent bootloader, use syslinux.
Actually, at least from where I'm sitting, this "personal opinion" has a good bit of technical merrit. I can confirm that my life with boot loaders has become much easier since switching to syslinux, and you are the second regular contributor who has stated this. I was forced to chainload Windows XP after resizing a partition on this old machine I am still using, hopefully until the end of the day. This was already configured into syslinux by default, and worked flawlessly without modification. Additionally, the Arch defaults were sane enough to be able to run with very little modification, only needing the label for my root partition in the append line for the kernel. A big +1 from me for syslinux.
