31 I can't recall if I was on the old grub or the new grub. I switched to
32 the new grub a while back but can't recall which came first. Hmmmmmmmm.

34 On another note, we had another power fail and when I started up again,
35 it didn't complain about that problem. Of course it didn't like the
36 shutdown since I wasn't here to do it and forgot to set it to start the
37 UPS driver stuff. It was the same as a power plug pull. Anyway, it
38 seems that when it has to fsck the / file system, it can't pick up from
39 there the same as it does when it doesn't need to do a fsck on /. Bug
40 maybe???
