What I do not understand is how much GRUB legacy is not supported anymore? It won't get removed from the system, but will I have to do any manual steps when updating the kernel or something like that? At the moment I don't see any reason for trying to install GRUB2 again, because last time it failed hard on my MacBook Pro.
1) You can't install the grub package anymore, unless you build it from AUR. 2) The grub-bios package will install grub2.

In short, unless you choose to install the new grub packages and uninstall the legacy one, nothing will happen.
And nothing will break. That's good. Just read today that in GRUB2 they changed the counting of partitions and that hd(0,0) becomes hd(0,1). Which is absolutely nuts. Or like lua. ;) Best, Arvid -- [ Arvid Warnecke ][ arvid (at) nostalgix (dot) org ] [ IRC/OPN: "madhatter" ][ http://www.nostalgix.org ] ---[ ThreePiO was right: Let the Wookiee win. ]---
