Grub2 doesn't work on Toshiba Tecra A8

[Clemens Eisserer]

Hi,

I've just installed Fedora16 (previously used an updated installation
which didn't update grub) and Grub2 isn't able to render its
user-interface on this Notebook.
All I see is the "toshiba" logo with some distortions, until the linux
kernel takes over and does mode-setting.

I filed a bug in redhat's bugzilla, but as usual nobody cared.

Is it possible to switch back to grub1 even when the system is a fresh
installation?
Will grub1 continue be packaged for new fedora releases?

Thanks, Clemens
