Well, devs, I am making some advancements with the new svn versions.  I 
just did a brand new fresh install to a test computer which had LILO 
installed as default.  I first installed svn2059 for testing, which 
worked!  I then did an upgrade to svn2065 afterwards, ran the 
grub-install command to replace all the files in /boot/grub.

Each time I've run or re-run grub-install though, I get this error.
grub-setup:  error:  cannot read '/boot/grub/core.img' correctly

Someone enlighten me as to what might be causing that?  Otherwise, 
things are looking favorable for Grub2 being okay, but I'm not letting 
you devs off until I do a bit more testing.  :-)

Pat
