So what's the > remedy? Grub used to be good software. Predictable, non-surprising, one config file you edited with an editor. Those days are gone. Now, with grub 2, I need to be an expert on seven or so files that get processed into one big one, which acts as the config. I don't mind acquiring expertise for something important like LaTeX for writing books or Python for making my computer do my bidding, but I don't want to spend hours or days gaining expertise just for a program telling the computer the kernel and initrd locations, and a few other things. With gui, splash screens, frame-buffers, and all sorts of other gobblty-gook. I considered going back to LILO, but it still has no understanding of filesystems: It's easy to bork and hard to fix. Not as hard as Grub 2 though. Is there a simpler bootloader that works with Linux? I don't want GUI. I don't want a framebuffer. I don't want a splash screen. And I don't want to wade through seven files to turn those things off. Basically, I'd like something like LILO that understands ext4.
