grub2 in fedora is crap
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=882721

grub was a bootloader, grub2 is a operating system with tons
of scripts some guys are calling "configuration" and full
of bugs

grub2 is fragile or why does F16/F17 not get the final version?
because maintainers fear it is more worse as beta6
