FC2 Test2 -> Test3 update GRUB corruption

[Skahan, Vince]

I have a Dell D600 multibooting Windows XP Pro
and FC2 Test2 (updated from Test1) and tried 
another update from cdrom to Test3.

The contents were a custom installation, with 
pretty all the package subsets selected except
'NewsServer' and 'Everything', plus a few extra
rpms added manually.

The update completed seemingly without error, but
the system hung on GRUB 'loading stage 2' on the 
reboot.

To fix the problem, I did a clean installation of
Test3 onto the same partition, doing a custom 
installation and selecting no packages, with nothing
being reformatted.  The GRUB setup was applied correctly
and the system rebooted fine afterward.

I also redid the installation doing a complete install
'with' formatting of the Linux partitions, again 
selecting everything on the custom package selection
dialog other than 'NewsServer' and 'Everything' and
that installation worked ok too, reboots fine.

Just in case anybody else has similar problems upgrading...
