Lilo, however, has the huge advantage that it tries to verify the config before it does anything hazardous. Grub 2 seems to me better than Grub 1 (though still not very good) if you find yourself editing things at the Grub command line. However, if it does not work on a given computer then this is what I call ‘a fact of life’. :)
