A newer version of GRUB (sys-boot/grub) is now stable. There are now
|
|
two available slots:
|
|
|
|
sys-boot/grub:0 - Known as "GRUB Legacy"
|
|
sys-boot/grub:2 - Known as "GRUB2"
|
|
|
|
GRUB2 uses a different configuration format, and requires a manual
|
|
migration before your system will actually use it. A guide [1] is
|
|
available on the gentoo.org website, and the Gentoo wiki [2][3] has
|
|
additional information.
|
|
|
|
If you would prefer not to migrate at this time, you do not need to
|
|
take any action: GRUB Legacy will remain functional in /boot. To
|
|
prevent any associated files (documentation) from being removed, add
|
|
sys-boot/grub:0 to your world file. For example:
|
|
|
|
emerge --noreplace sys-boot/grub:0
|
