My own unhappy experience with GRUB 2 happened when I did a distribution upgrade
which rendered my system unbootable. I had to become a GRUB "expert" to find
out what I could type at the GRUB command line to even start to diagnose what
was wrong.

After a lot of gnashing of teeth, I found out that my MD0 and MD1 raid
configuration was being enumerated by GRUB as MD127 and MD126. But I still
didn't know how to fix it.

Unfortunately, the upgrade was mandatory to fix a fatal flaw in the version of
ecryptfs in the previous version which had destroyed some of my files.

I switched to a different distro to get around this.
