In addition to the above, can people please test and up-karma (if
appropriate) these grub and grub2 updates:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/grub2-1.99-9.fc16
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/grub-0.97-83.fc16

test in whatever setups you can. The intended behaviour is that if you
yum update a system with grub installed from a repo with both packages
available, grub will be replaced with both grub-efi and grub2.
Post-update, grub should still be in the MBR so the system should still
boot, switching to grub2 in the MBR at present still requires manual
intervention. Together with the fix for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737731 these updates should
cause preupgrades to work, but it's a bit hard to test, I think, as
you'd have to give preupgrade a custom repo containing those packages to
work from. I'm sure you can do that, but I don't know the process off
the top of my head. Otherwise it'll have to wait till they propagate out
to updates-testing.

If you already have a grub2 system then you should just get the new
grub2 as usual.

In whatever case, both bootloaders should still fundamentally _work_
when properly installed/configured (none of the latest tweaks are to the
code of either per se, but to the obsoletes/provides infrastructure).

We'd like to have these packages both in the TC1 compose so we can test
upgrades etc, so it'd be great if they could be karma'ed up by tomorrow,
thanks!
