A newer version of GRUB (sys-boot/grub) is now stable. There are now |
15 |
two available slots: |
16 |
|
17 |
sys-boot/grub:0 - Known as "GRUB Legacy" |
18 |
sys-boot/grub:2 - Known as "GRUB2" |
19 |
|
20 |
GRUB2 uses a different configuration format, and requires a manual |
21 |
migration before your system will actually use it. A guide [1] is |
22 |
available on the gentoo.org website. |

|
24 |
If you would prefer not to migrate at this time, you do not need to |
25 |
take any action: GRUB Legacy will remain functional in /boot. To |
26 |
prevent any associated files (documentation) from being removed, add |
27 |
sys-boot/grub:0 to your world file. For example: |
28 |
|
29 |
emerge --noreplace sys-boot/grub:0 |
