Sorry, looking back at my cryptic hand-written notes I realize I forgot
to mention that I ran 'grub-install' before editing grub.conf. On the
basis of time-stamps of the files in /boot/grub, almost all files were
rewritten but grub.conf was not. My notes don't record whether I tried
rebooting after running grub-install but IIRC I probably did. I seem to
recollect that I was still stuck at "GRUB".
Therefore I edited grub.conf and tried again. This time reboot worked
for me so I didn't delve into it further.
Whether the real remedy was running grub-install or editing grub.conf
*or both*, I don't know. The fact remains I'm typing this with 'fully'
operational F9 system.
