I've had problems with this as well. I select grub
during install, but I usually get LILO anyway. Once
it installed grub, but did not load the console with
the resolution I requested.
I have tried several times with Mandrake Control
Center to load Grub and it always boots with Lilo. I
try to manually install Grub and there isn't even a
/boot/grub/install.sh. menu.lst is there, but
install.sh is not. It's weird.
I suppose I can use LILO, but I am very curious about
this. I think there is indeed a bug here.
