Same here. i had to modify a couple files just to get Ubuntu to boot
properly on my laptop, not to mention enter special flags for the
boot parameter on the live CD just to get it to load. I later moved
to Linux Mint, which had better driver support for my older laptop,
but I still had to edit the same files just to get the live CD to
boot and then get the system to boot after installation. Imagine my
surprise when I tried Fedora 14 and it booted fine from the CD and
after installation, it booted fine without me having to modify any
config files. I love the older grub!!

I use Ubuntu, but I
heartily agree with Grub2 being a nightmare. On one
machine, I had to edit files in 3 different locations to
get it to boot reliably. Whoever dreamed up the
configuration scheme for Grub2 should be booted
themselves!

I much prefer the older grub in Fedora to the grub2
that's used in Ubuntu. That to me is a creaking
nightmare and doesn't play well with my older
hardware. Plus, the grub.conf file is so easy to
edit and it makes sense to me, unlike grub2.
