Other than LVM I'm not sure what that is?

I'm not sure how it would make a difference if you weren't using LVM?

If your grub information was on a EXT3 /boot or EXT3 / partition, I
would imagine that either configuration is equally susceptible to
problems with update errors or whatnot. Any grub or kernel update has
to write to /boot/grub regardless of what partition it resides ... or
am I missing something?
