[Bug 411728] Re: karmic a3: softwares made unusable by grub2, apparmor

[bllred]

Thank You Mr. Watson.

My experience with the Grub bootloader is that the boot hook
can be installed into the boot sector (first sector, may be more
correct) of a partition, rather than the mbr of drive 0 (zero).
If using a master bootloader, it must be allowed to take control
from there, and from there with Bootit NG I can chain-load GRUB
so as to have two or more co-existing GRUBs.

When I installed Karmic I chose to install GRUB to the first sector
of the boot partition, so that Bootit NG was the 'master bootloader'.
I could be mistaken, but I believe what happened was that a 
subsequent update then installed GRUB's boot hook into the main
MBR of every drive on my system.

If that's what happened, I completely understand the risks in alpha
and beta testing, and in fact was able to recover without much 
problem.  If I am confused, I apologize.  I also did take note of the
warning regarding dual-booting with the GRUB2 testing.  

Regards,

Robert Allred
