After updating grub to version 0.97-r6 I got the following message: * *** IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run grub and install * the new version's stage1 to your MBR. Until you do, * stage1 and stage2 will still be the old version, but * later stages will be the new version, which could * cause problems such as an unbootable system. Most users are supposed to see this message this times. Maybe it would be helpful to add a URL describing how to install the new version's stage1 to the MBR. I would propose this one: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=10#grub-install-auto This would help users avoid the 15 minutes it took me to find this explanation ;-) Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u grub Actual Results: * *** IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run grub and install * the new version's stage1 to your MBR. Until you do, * stage1 and stage2 will still be the old version, but * later stages will be the new version, which could * cause problems such as an unbootable system. Expected Results: * *** IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run grub and install * the new version's stage1 to your MBR.
