I have a grub, old from original install, and grub2, that was added when
I switched to the new grub.  I would have thought the old directory was
no longer needed but it appears it is for some reason.  I've reinstalled
using the grub-mkconfig command but have not reinstalled using the
grub-install command.  I'm tempted to rename the old directory, install
like I would from a fresh new install, MBR and all, then see if it
boots.  Thing is, having to use the rescue tools if it fails is a bit of
a pain.  Also, I need to let my hair regrow a bit.  ;-)

I'm so glad I had printed the info I needed and filed it in a folder.  I
would have been in a real bad situation if I hadn't.
