Agree!!!! Grub really suxx.

After many years using LILO, moved to Grub trying to stay up to date.

Then, after 2 ugly cases with Grub - at one it deletes all partitions on
two HDs... (i could recover all with TestDisck) i moved "back" to LILO
and will stay on it.

Besides, AFAIK Grub do not offer the useful "-R" option of LILO.

Just my 2 cents.
