I am not complaining. I believe reporting bugs to be an important activity. Your immediate conclusion that it is an 'elementary boot stuff" problem does not encourage someone who has spent a lot of hours assuming he had misunderstood something, then coming to the conclusion that there was indeed something wrong. I found the tone of your message offensive. We are not all idiots :) Fin. One of the other people who reported this very same problem is also using grub. So be it.
