He will need to do this every time GRUB is updated. After GRUB files have moved around in /boot, anything that writes to /boot, such as a Kernel update, can trigger the issue by overwriting the free blocks that had previously been GRUB Stage 2. See `info grub` for how the GRUB bootsector finds GRUB Stage 2. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
