What transpired was that when I upgraded my laptop, grub insisted on corrupting the graphic at log on. No big deal. I commented it out of the configuration file. As to my main machine, I had a variety of stuff go wrong at first go. As I sorted it out, I went back to basics, in this case lilo, which, for what ever its technical inferiority, is something that I know works for me and which I know how to fix if it breaks.
For me, it is unimportant to have the most high tech boot loader. What matters is, as noted, it works, and I know how to fix it if it breaks. Plenty of other things to worry about. Just my two cents, of course.
