I did all the rawhide updates (with --exclude=4.0.0-8\*, of course) last night. When I went to boot my computer this morning, it just said "GRUB " and stopped there. I booted the rescue CD and redid grub-install on my main hard drive, and now things are working again. I have no idea what happened, or how to track it down; did this happen to anyone else? If not, I'll just chalk it up to the phase of the moon or something.
