Hello folks! I have not succeeded in getting Grub 2.00 to work for me yet, though Grub 2.00~rc1 works for me just fine.
First, I experience the Arch bug that does not allow me to compile with more than one core or hyperthread due to a race condition. Even if the make goes well (which I think requires a newer version of gcc or something, because when I went back to the "LiveCD", which isn't as up-to-date, I couldn't even do a make even when using only one hyperthread), the "sudo make install" step gives errors. But doing "grub-install --version" spilts out "Grub 2.00", so I know that something installed. When I install the above defective Grub to my hard drive, it only boots to a rescue prompt. I'm lucky I kept a copy of the Grub 2.00~rc1 source code, or else I'd be in a pickle. >From now on, I think I will always keep a copy of the previosly working source code. I hope none of the developers take it personally that I had to revert or that I'll have to keep a copy of the previously working source code. I was simply forced to, and regressions are a part of software development. Overall I really love Grub2; this is just a minor hiccup, which is to be expected with development.
