A friend of mine reported that today's yum update trashed two completely 
separate FC3 machines of his. It would hang during grub load, just sits 
there with a blinking _

here are the updates that went in today:

gaim-1.1.3-1.FC3.i386.rpm
squid-2.5.STABLE8-1.FC3.1.i386.rpm
pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-2.2.i386.rpm
openssh-clients-3.9p1-8.0.1.i386.rpm
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.9p1-8.0.1.i386.rpm
openssh-askpass-3.9p1-8.0.1.i386.rpm
openssh-3.9p1-8.0.1.i386.rpm
openssh-server-3.9p1-8.0.1.i386.rpm
postgresql-libs-7.4.7-3.FC3.1.i386.rpm

he reports it rebooted fine before he did the update, and after he did the 
update, it no longer loaded grub. he had to boot off a grub floppy to 
recover it.

anyone else notice this?
