14 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.
23
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
